Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for issues extending from normal afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet typically encounter.
