Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with difficulties extending from familiar ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute 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 perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
