Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest around ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable health care training with a main focus on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat issues ranging from standard afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which give them the skill required to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet regularly encounter.
