Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to deal with difficulties varying from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
