Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care instruction with a focus on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address problems stretching from basic conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet normally encounter.
