Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote approximately 10 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 resembles conventional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained extensive medical training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are taught to address complications extending from commonplace conditions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which furnish them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and avoid numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
