Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to care for problems varying from common problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience required to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
