Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and a number of podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with concerns ranging from conventional conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet generally experience.
