Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive health care training with an attention to on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to manage issues ranging from simple ailments for instance ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which give them the practical experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations allows a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
