Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained wide-ranging healthcare instruction with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to deal with problems stretching from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet commonly encounter.
