Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of a decade in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained significant medical instruction with a main focus on issues involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle conditions extending from regular ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the prior experience necessary to perform surgery 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 legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
