Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received significant healthcare education with a stress on issues involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address problems extending from typical disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
