Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining 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 conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical training with a main focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat issues extending from commonplace afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
