Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a main focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address difficulties ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
