Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained significant health care training with a concentration on problems regarding the feet and ankles. They are qualified to manage issues stretching from simple conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience essential to conduct surgery on those complications that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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 abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent many conditions which the feet commonly encounter.
