Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging medical instruction with a stress on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage issues stretching from usual conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
