Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and actually many podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained extensive healthcare training with an attention to on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are instructed to manage concerns ranging from familiar conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet routinely encounter.
