Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable health care training with a focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage issues extending from familiar disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
