Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained substantial healthcare training with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage conditions varying from typical ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually experience.
