Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care education with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat problems extending from commonplace problems for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly experience.
