Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with an attention to on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address difficulties ranging from commonplace conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous conditions which the feet typically experience.
