Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical instruction with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to deal with conditions extending from basic problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise required to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
