Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant medical education with a main focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions stretching from common conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill required to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually encounter.
