Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle complications stretching from standard problems like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the expertise required to perform surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
