Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to treat complications extending from typical afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
