Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an importance on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to deal with difficulties stretching from usual ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
