Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with a focus on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to care for conditions ranging from normal afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the skill required to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet generally experience.
