Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems varying from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
