Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained substantial health care training with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to address conditions ranging from usual conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet normally encounter.
