Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained thorough health care instruction with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address difficulties ranging from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
