Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable medical education with an attention to on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to address concerns stretching from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience needed to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet typically encounter.
