Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to treat concerns extending from conventional problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally experience.
