Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems varying from conventional disorders such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the expertise needed to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet normally experience.
