Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and various podiatry programmes lie inside these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care training with an emphasis on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are instructed to address problems ranging from familiar ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the skill essential to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet routinely experience.
