Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive health care training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with problems ranging from common ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet regularly experience.
