Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They spend around ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs lie inside these schools. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough healthcare training with an importance on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are studied to care for problems varying from commonplace conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which give them the practical experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of many issues which the feet usually encounter.
