Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote approximately 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive healthcare training with an attention to on difficulties involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from familiar ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which furnish them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore 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 peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
