Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical education with a main focus on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to address difficulties varying from standard ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those troubles that are best remedied 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 legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet generally experience.
