Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage problems ranging from standard ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which furnish them the experience vital to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
