Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are contained within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial health care instruction with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle concerns ranging from familiar afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless problems which the feet commonly encounter.
