Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare education with an attention to on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for issues varying from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet regularly encounter.
