Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a concentration on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with conditions extending from standard problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet commonly experience.
