Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care instruction with a stress on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to manage concerns ranging from familiar disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which provide them the expertise necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid countless problems which the feet usually encounter.
