Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive healthcare training with a focus on issues regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to manage difficulties ranging from typical ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the prior experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of many complications which the feet usually experience.
