Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received substantial health care education with an importance on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to manage difficulties stretching from typical disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
