Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical instruction with an importance on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat problems varying from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet regularly experience.
