Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough medical training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to deal with problems ranging from commonplace problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
