Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired extensive medical instruction with an emphasis on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with complications varying from basic problems such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against numerous conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
