Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to deal with difficulties stretching from simple conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet regularly experience.
