Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with complications stretching from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which give them the practical experience essential to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous issues which the feet typically experience.
