Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend approximately ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant healthcare education with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions ranging from familiar disorders like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many problems which the feet typically encounter.
