Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for issues ranging from regular problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
