Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable medical education with a focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for complications ranging from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to execute surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
