Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received extensive health care education with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for concerns ranging from usual problems such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet frequently experience.
