Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical education with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to treat problems ranging from usual conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet usually encounter.
