Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems ranging from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet typically experience.
