Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and various podiatry programmes are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive medical education with a focus on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from typical conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
