Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received significant medical education with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address problems extending from typical problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
