Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained substantial health care instruction with an attention to on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to deal with issues stretching from normal conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet usually experience.
