Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained comprehensive medical training with a stress on conditions pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat conditions varying from usual afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical education which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
