Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in reality various podiatry programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained thorough health care training with a main focus on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage concerns varying from commonplace disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which provide them the skill needed to perform surgery on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless troubles which the feet typically encounter.
