Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable medical instruction with a focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications ranging from standard problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
