Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive health care instruction with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat concerns extending from common disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge 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 deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
