Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care instruction with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues stretching from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet generally encounter.
