Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical education with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems extending from conventional ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet regularly encounter.
