Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems varying from regular ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
