Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received substantial healthcare instruction with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage concerns ranging from familiar conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which provide them the skill crucial to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet regularly encounter.
