Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive medical training with a main focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle problems stretching from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
