Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare education with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions ranging from simple problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
