Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to address complications varying from conventional disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet frequently experience.
