Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and actually various podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained significant medical education with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are trained to manage problems ranging from standard ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience required to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid countless issues which the feet commonly experience.
