Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat issues extending from commonplace afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet normally encounter.
