Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive health care education with a main focus on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to address problems ranging from regular afflictions for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet typically experience.
