Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained considerable healthcare training with a concentration on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are trained to manage problems ranging from common disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more complex for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet routinely encounter.
