Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage complications ranging from simple afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which furnish them the practical experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
