Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained wide-ranging medical education with a focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties ranging from regular conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet normally encounter.
