Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs lie within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging health care education with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. They are qualified to treat conditions varying from conventional conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against a large number of troubles which the feet regularly encounter.
