Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and actually many podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive medical instruction with a stress on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat complications stretching from commonplace conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the skill necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
