Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with concerns varying from familiar conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which give them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet generally encounter.
