Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical training with a stress on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications ranging from usual conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which give them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
