Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained considerable health care education with an importance on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for conditions ranging from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent a large number of issues which the feet routinely encounter.
