Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received considerable health care instruction with an attention to on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are taught to treat problems ranging from normal ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet usually encounter.
