Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received substantial healthcare instruction with a stress on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat difficulties stretching from basic problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
