Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable health care training with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage conditions ranging from familiar ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet commonly experience.
