Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial medical training with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to address complications ranging from standard conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent countless issues which the feet generally experience.
