Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical instruction with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage concerns stretching from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet typically encounter.
