Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, 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 is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to handle concerns varying from commonplace conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet usually encounter.
