Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care instruction with a concentration on concerns concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with difficulties extending from standard ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the experience needed to execute surgery on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
