Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns varying from regular disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
