Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of ten years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive health care education with an emphasis on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to handle conditions stretching from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet normally encounter.
