Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical training with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle difficulties extending from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet frequently experience.
