Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from conventional ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill required to carry out surgery on those complications that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet usually experience.
