Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle issues varying from conventional problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which provide them the expertise needed to perform surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet usually experience.
