Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical instruction with a focus on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with complications ranging from common conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against a large number of problems which the feet regularly encounter.
