Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive health care education with an importance on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to deal with conditions ranging from common ailments such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the skill necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet typically encounter.
