Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with complications extending from general disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet regularly encounter.
