Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to treat complications ranging from regular ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
