Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with an attention to on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address complications varying from standard afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many troubles which the feet frequently experience.
