Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact various podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address issues extending from typical afflictions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have thorough surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience essential to conduct surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
