Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle conditions ranging from conventional problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the expertise required to execute surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
