Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired extensive medical training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with concerns stretching from general afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which supply them the skill essential to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
