Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care instruction with an emphasis on complications involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat conditions ranging from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
