Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received significant health care training with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat conditions stretching from standard conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet typically experience.
