Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle conditions stretching from familiar disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to execute surgery on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
