Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received considerable medical training with an emphasis on concerns regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with difficulties stretching from general ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience required to conduct surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet commonly experience.
