Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with an emphasis on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address issues ranging from normal problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the practical experience vital to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge 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 activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
