Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained substantial medical education with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to handle problems stretching from simple afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against countless problems which the feet typically experience.
