Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems extending from typical ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
