Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care instruction with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems extending from familiar problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
