Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive health care education with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to handle problems extending from basic problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the practical experience required to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
