Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial health care training with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to manage issues stretching from typical disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the skill essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
