Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in about a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained encompassing medical training with a focus on problems involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties varying from commonplace afflictions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which furnish them the experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and protect against countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
