Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough healthcare training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage difficulties ranging from usual ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
