Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 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 is similar to standard medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received significant health care instruction with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to address problems varying from basic afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the practical experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
