Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest an average of 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 receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough health care training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for problems stretching from common afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
