Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues stretching from normal conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
