Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from regular disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
