Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and actually various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a stress on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to care for problems ranging from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet usually encounter.
