Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems varying from normal ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
