Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired significant health care education with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to care for issues extending from standard afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet generally encounter.
