Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive health care training with a main focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with difficulties varying from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
