Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote about 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained substantial medical instruction with a concentration on conditions involving the ankles and feet. They are educated to treat complications extending from typical disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which give them the expertise vital to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid a large number of complications which the feet regularly encounter.
