Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with a stress on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat complications extending from simple problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the prior experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
