Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for problems ranging from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge 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 Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
