Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to manage problems stretching from general disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
