Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to care for problems extending from standard conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet commonly encounter.
