Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address issues varying from general conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled 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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet frequently experience.
