Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with conditions stretching from common problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
