Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address problems varying from commonplace disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
