Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive health care education with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are studied to address difficulties ranging from basic afflictions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually encounter.
