Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained comprehensive health care education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage issues ranging from common afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the prior experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent countless conditions which the feet frequently experience.
