Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive health care training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for problems extending from conventional disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly experience.
