Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with difficulties extending from normal conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet regularly encounter.
