Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on complications regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle issues stretching from typical disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the practical experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
