Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists 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 received comprehensive medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to address issues ranging from standard ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet usually encounter.
