Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained thorough medical instruction with a concentration on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle concerns varying from standard conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet usually experience.
