Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained encompassing healthcare training with a main focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat complications varying from general conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
