Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat problems ranging from basic ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet usually experience.
