Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a stress on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. They are qualified to care for complications stretching from usual disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
