Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical instruction with a focus on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage conditions stretching from simple disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
