Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained wide-ranging health care training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to care for problems ranging from typical afflictions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
