Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical training with a stress on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage problems ranging from basic problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against countless conditions which the feet usually encounter.
