Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical training with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to care for concerns extending from general ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience required to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet normally encounter.
