Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care education with an emphasis on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to manage complications varying from common afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet normally encounter.
