Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact various podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive health care instruction with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat complications stretching from basic conditions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which supply them the skill essential to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet frequently experience.
