Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems stretching from standard problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet commonly encounter.
