Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage conditions extending from familiar disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which give them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
