Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are studied to treat complications varying from general ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the experience vital to perform surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet usually experience.
