Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial healthcare training with a main focus on conditions regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems stretching from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the prior experience essential to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet usually encounter.
