Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical training with a stress on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle difficulties ranging from common disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
