Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat issues stretching from basic conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
