Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with issues extending from common conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
