Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in about ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage complications varying from familiar ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet commonly experience.
