Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial health care instruction with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle issues stretching from general afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet normally experience.
