Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received significant medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
