Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained significant healthcare training with a focus on conditions involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to deal with conditions ranging from commonplace afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the practical experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems enables a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of troubles which the feet frequently encounter.
