Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive health care instruction with a focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to care for conditions ranging from normal afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally encounter.
