Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually quite a number podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are educated to handle concerns ranging from simple ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which provide them the experience required to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical 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 tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
