Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and various podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained comprehensive medical training with a stress on conditions involving the feet and ankles. They are skilled to treat conditions ranging from usual disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise 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 abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
