Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care instruction with an importance on issues involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for concerns varying from usual afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet usually encounter.
