Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received substantial healthcare training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage concerns extending from usual conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
