Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the surgical and medical treatment 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 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage problems varying from general ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet commonly experience.
