Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough medical training with an importance on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat conditions extending from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet typically experience.
