Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle concerns ranging from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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 tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of troubles which the feet commonly experience.
