Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems ranging from usual problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
