Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical education with a main focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with conditions stretching from normal ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
