Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial healthcare instruction with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to care for problems ranging from usual ailments for instance, 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 considerable surgical training which provide them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
