Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with issues ranging from regular problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
