Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive health care education with a focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to treat concerns ranging from conventional ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet generally experience.
