Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care instruction with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address difficulties ranging from standard conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of conditions which the feet frequently experience.
