Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat concerns ranging from regular disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to execute surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet typically experience.
