Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained encompassing health care instruction with a concentration on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with difficulties stretching from normal problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
