Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are studied to handle difficulties stretching from normal ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied 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 receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet regularly encounter.
