Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical training with a main focus on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with complications ranging from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet regularly experience.
