Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on 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 undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to care for issues stretching from standard afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against a large number of problems which the feet typically experience.
