Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and many podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to treat issues ranging from regular problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless conditions which the feet regularly experience.
