Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial healthcare training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to deal with issues ranging from commonplace ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of conditions which the feet usually experience.
