Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to deal with issues ranging from typical problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet routinely experience.
