Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant health care education with an importance on issues regarding the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for problems extending from simple ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical instruction which supply them the skill essential to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
