Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough medical training with a focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to manage problems ranging from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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 carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
