Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat complications varying from general problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the expertise required to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet routinely experience.
