Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare training with an attention to on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat conditions extending from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which supply them the expertise required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet normally experience.
