Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical training with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with concerns varying from basic conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also 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 perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet usually encounter.
