Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an importance on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle complications stretching from simple conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
