Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to handle conditions ranging from usual afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
