Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive medical education with an importance on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to handle issues stretching from standard problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical training which provide them the practical experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet generally experience.
