Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained extensive healthcare instruction with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage conditions varying from familiar problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
