Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant health care instruction with an importance on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat difficulties ranging from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the skill vital to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
