Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with a focus on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to handle problems varying from familiar conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet typically encounter.
