Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical education with an emphasis on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address difficulties varying from general conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
