Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial healthcare instruction with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage conditions ranging from conventional ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet usually experience.
