Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat issues ranging from standard ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet commonly encounter.
