Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received thorough health care training with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for complications ranging from simple disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough 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. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet routinely experience.
