Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact numerous podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive healthcare instruction with a main focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are instructed to care for problems ranging from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical training which furnish them the experience required to perform surgery on those concerns that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet commonly experience.
