Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle difficulties varying from typical conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
