Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address difficulties ranging from typical conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
