Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend about ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an importance on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with issues ranging from simple afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet regularly experience.
