Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable healthcare training with a main focus on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for issues stretching from normal afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet regularly experience.
