Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have gained comprehensive healthcare training with a concentration on complications regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to address conditions stretching from normal ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more intricate such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our 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 tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
