Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an importance on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are studied to treat problems stretching from regular ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which furnish them the practical experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
