Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial medical instruction with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for difficulties extending from basic ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet routinely encounter.
