Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors invest approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and several podiatry programs are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received extensive healthcare training with a focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to care for complications varying from usual ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which give them the prior experience essential to perform surgery on those issues that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations enables a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of conditions which the feet commonly experience.
