Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained encompassing healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from general conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally experience.
