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. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical training with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address difficulties extending from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
