Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received comprehensive medical training with a focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with issues extending from conventional problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled 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 receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
