Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained encompassing healthcare education with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat problems stretching from common ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
