Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive medical education with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage difficulties stretching from basic conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
