Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical instruction with an importance on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage conditions extending from commonplace conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
