Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained extensive healthcare education with a main focus on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to handle complications ranging from familiar afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute 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 perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet commonly encounter.
