Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained substantial medical training with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems stretching from regular conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet typically encounter.
