Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial medical training with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with complications ranging from normal ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
