Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat difficulties varying from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet generally encounter.
