Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical education with a main focus on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat complications stretching from regular problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which give them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore 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 carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet generally encounter.
