Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable health care education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to handle problems stretching from familiar disorders such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet typically encounter.
