Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging medical training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat issues ranging from typical afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet generally encounter.
