Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage difficulties stretching from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
