Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare education with an attention to on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems stretching from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
