Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat concerns ranging from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet usually encounter.
