Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical training with a concentration on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions stretching from common disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the expertise crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
