Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle concerns ranging from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet frequently encounter.
