Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received considerable medical training with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat conditions varying from usual problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently experience.
