Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle complications ranging from basic afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise 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 activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
