Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained considerable medical training with a concentration on issues involving the ankles and feet. They are skilled to address concerns extending from typical afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet frequently experience.
