Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend around a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and several podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial health care education with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for difficulties ranging from commonplace problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against numerous conditions which the feet usually experience.
