Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare education with a stress on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for complications ranging from typical afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet generally encounter.
