Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage complications stretching from general ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
