Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable medical training with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with difficulties stretching from common ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
