Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained significant medical education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address problems varying from standard disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which provide them the expertise required to conduct surgical treatment on those issues 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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
