Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake 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 Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive health care instruction with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to manage concerns stretching from typical problems for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated 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 feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
