Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes lie inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to care for concerns ranging from conventional ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which give them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet generally experience.
