Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive health care instruction with an importance on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with complications varying from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet usually experience.
