Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure 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 several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform 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 gained substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to handle conditions stretching from simple conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
