Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage concerns ranging from typical afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
