Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive healthcare education with a main focus on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for conditions ranging from usual ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet generally encounter.
