Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant health care training with a main focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage difficulties varying from conventional conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet frequently experience.
