Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received encompassing health care instruction with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address complications extending from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the expertise needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
