Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable medical training with a stress on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage problems stretching from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
