Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues varying from typical ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to execute surgery on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet typically experience.
