Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for conditions stretching from basic problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill vital to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
