Podiatrists: Dr. Corey Drew

Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After achieving 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 residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a stress on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat issues varying from standard disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
