Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial medical training with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage issues ranging from regular disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
