Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with issues varying from standard conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
