Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive health care training with an importance on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to deal with complications stretching from conventional problems for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet usually experience.
