Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage problems varying from regular conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise vital to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
