Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are educated to manage problems extending from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
