Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare training with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to deal with conditions ranging from normal disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the prior experience vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
