Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage difficulties ranging from commonplace ailments for instance 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 practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless troubles which the feet normally encounter.
