Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare instruction with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat issues extending from simple afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet normally encounter.
