Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial health care education with a main focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are skilled to care for difficulties stretching from common conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of issues which the feet typically encounter.
