Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and various podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive healthcare training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems ranging from normal afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which give them the prior experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet frequently encounter.
