Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest approximately a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle conditions ranging from commonplace disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which furnish them the skill needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
