Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable healthcare instruction with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are trained to deal with conditions varying from simple problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of many complications which the feet frequently experience.
