Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with complications stretching from regular conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of problems which the feet routinely experience.
