Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care training with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from commonplace afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the expertise required to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet generally experience.
