Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians 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 Foot doctors have received significant medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications extending from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet normally encounter.
