Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive 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 fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired thorough medical training with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to handle conditions stretching from conventional conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet normally experience.
