Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained significant healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for conditions ranging from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the expertise required to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
