Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with an attention to on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with conditions extending from basic afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet typically encounter.
