Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging healthcare training with an importance on complications involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage issues stretching from common disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet usually encounter.
