Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care education with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address complications stretching from typical ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the prior experience vital to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet routinely experience.
