Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare education with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to address difficulties extending from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
