Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat complications varying from common ailments like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which provide them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet routinely encounter.
