Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors 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 higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired thorough health care training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for concerns ranging from simple afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous conditions which the feet normally experience.
