Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to care for conditions ranging from typical problems such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet routinely encounter.
