Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive health care training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address concerns stretching from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which supply them the expertise essential to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
