Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive medical instruction with a main focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for complications extending from common afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet generally encounter.
