Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications stretching from common ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet routinely experience.
