Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with an attention to on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address conditions extending from commonplace disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of complications which the feet usually encounter.
