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 foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical training with an emphasis on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems ranging from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet frequently encounter.
