Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programs are located within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive health care instruction with a focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to address conditions ranging from usual problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise 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 tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and help prevent numerous problems which the feet commonly experience.
