Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained considerable healthcare instruction with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to manage problems extending from typical disorders such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to perform surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
