Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired substantial health care education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for problems ranging from usual afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
