Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a stress on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with difficulties ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet frequently experience.
