Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and actually a number of podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare training with an attention to on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems extending from normal conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience essential to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against numerous troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
