Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in about ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and actually several podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care training with a main focus on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to treat difficulties ranging from basic afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more sophisticated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the expertise essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against numerous complications which the feet frequently encounter.
