Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and a number of podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging healthcare training with a stress on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for problems extending from typical conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
