Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat conditions varying from normal afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet normally encounter.
