Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing health care training with an emphasis on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to handle problems varying from basic conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet routinely encounter.
