Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately a decade in education, the first four 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 resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with a focus on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems ranging from conventional ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many problems which the feet typically encounter.
