Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from standard problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our 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 carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet usually encounter.
