Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive healthcare education with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to deal with complications stretching from commonplace ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill needed to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
