Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain 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 as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care education with an importance on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to deal with problems varying from standard problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which supply them the practical experience essential to conduct surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical 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 problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet typically experience.
