Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received considerable medical instruction with a focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to manage conditions stretching from familiar disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which provide them the experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
