Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial healthcare training with a focus on issues concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to address difficulties varying from standard afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise 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. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet generally encounter.
