Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable health care training with a concentration on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from commonplace conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
