Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry programs are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive medical education with an importance on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to handle conditions ranging from common ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many conditions which the feet usually encounter.
