Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with issues extending from typical disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience needed to execute surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet regularly experience.
