Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs lie inside these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists 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 residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare training with a focus on issues concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems stretching from regular conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience essential to execute surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of countless troubles which the feet typically experience.
