Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to deal with problems extending from conventional conditions like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical education which supply them the skill needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet generally experience.
