Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive healthcare training with a main focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to address difficulties extending from usual disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
