Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received considerable health care training with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to address difficulties ranging from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet typically experience.
