Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained encompassing health care education with an attention to on complications concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address concerns varying from common problems for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience required to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
