Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care instruction with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for problems ranging from conventional conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
