Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with problems varying from normal conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which supply them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous issues which the feet generally encounter.
