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. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with problems ranging from common ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which supply them the prior experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet commonly experience.
