Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive health care education with a focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from normal afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet normally experience.
