Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical instruction with an importance on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to care for issues ranging from conventional ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best managed 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 feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many problems which the feet normally encounter.
