Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues varying from standard disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
