Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and actually several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to address conditions varying from standard disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
