Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to deal with conditions stretching from typical conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
