Cochrane Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Cochrane specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing healthcare instruction with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat complications stretching from conventional conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which furnish them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet typically encounter.
