Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend approximately a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle difficulties extending from common problems like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet regularly experience.
