Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial medical training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems varying from common conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
