Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with a stress on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat concerns ranging from general conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet regularly encounter.
