Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial medical instruction with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage issues ranging from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
