Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical training with an attention to on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to address problems ranging from familiar disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet routinely encounter.
