Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat issues ranging from familiar conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
