Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an importance on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to care for problems extending from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
