Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with conditions ranging from familiar afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience essential to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
