Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable health care education with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems extending from standard conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet typically experience.
