Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive medical training with a main focus on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for concerns stretching from standard afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which supply them the experience essential to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
