Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with an importance on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle difficulties varying from normal problems for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more perplexing for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the experience needed to carry out surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities makes it easy for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet frequently encounter.
