Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical training with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address conditions ranging from standard afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet generally experience.
