Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive healthcare education with a stress on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with complications ranging from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet usually encounter.
