Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough healthcare training with a stress on complications regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage difficulties extending from typical afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent countless complications which the feet regularly experience.
