Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained significant healthcare training with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address concerns ranging from general problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the skill required to execute surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally experience.
