Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging health care instruction with a main focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address complications extending from basic conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the expertise required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait deviations makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous problems which the feet routinely encounter.
