Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and several podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired considerable medical education with a focus on concerns pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to manage problems extending from conventional conditions for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those troubles that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet generally experience.
