Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care education with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to manage problems ranging from simple ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical training which supply them the experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet routinely experience.
