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. Foot Institute Podiatrists put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with a focus on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are educated to treat problems stretching from normal problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of conditions which the feet usually encounter.
