Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained extensive medical instruction with an attention to on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. They are educated to handle concerns ranging from standard problems for instance ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical instruction which give them the experience crucial to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
