Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received significant healthcare education with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat problems varying from normal disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
