Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with concerns ranging from commonplace afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
