Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired significant medical training with a stress on problems involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for complications ranging from standard disorders like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the experience essential to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet usually encounter.
