Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical education with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address issues stretching from general conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet commonly experience.
