Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat problems ranging from typical disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet commonly encounter.
