Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish 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 extensive healthcare education with a focus on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to care for difficulties varying from regular afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
