Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical education with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage difficulties varying from usual afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet normally encounter.
