Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from normal conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet usually experience.
