Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received thorough healthcare instruction with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with difficulties ranging from commonplace disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience needed to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated 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 legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet generally encounter.
