Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact a number of podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage problems varying from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough practical 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many conditions which the feet generally experience.
