Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Red Deer focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. 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 second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received encompassing medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat conditions ranging from common afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
