Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing healthcare instruction with a stress on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems extending from general conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
