Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received encompassing medical education with an importance on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to treat problems extending from basic ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
