Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and several podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant health care education with a concentration on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address problems ranging from conventional problems for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which provide them the expertise crucial to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet generally experience.
