Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and several 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 another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained substantial medical training with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from conventional problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
