Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and numerous podiatry training programs are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained significant medical education with a main focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for complications varying from usual disorders for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to conduct surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of countless problems which the feet frequently experience.
