Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address concerns ranging from commonplace problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
