Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial medical instruction with a focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems extending from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
