Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to deal with concerns ranging from normal problems for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience required to execute surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet frequently experience.
