Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical education with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with problems ranging from typical disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet routinely experience.
