Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received wide-ranging healthcare education with a main focus on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle issues ranging from familiar afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the practical experience essential to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous problems which the feet frequently experience.
