Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to address difficulties stretching from standard afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet normally encounter.
