Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on problems concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems varying from familiar conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more puzzling for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent countless complications which the feet usually encounter.
