Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle issues stretching from standard conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
