Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to deal with concerns ranging from standard conditions for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
