Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging health care training with an importance on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for complications stretching from simple ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet normally experience.
