Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive health care instruction with a stress on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle concerns varying from general disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience required to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
