Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing healthcare education with a concentration on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage problems varying from basic ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
