Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough medical education with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are taught to deal with problems varying from basic conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
