Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from commonplace ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet regularly experience.
