Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for conditions extending from common afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
