Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to deal with problems varying from typical conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
