Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to address problems stretching from familiar disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
