Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and numerous podiatry programmes lie within these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical training with a concentration on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat concerns stretching from usual afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet routinely experience.
