Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with issues extending from commonplace ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally experience.
