Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems varying from familiar ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet regularly experience.
