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. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received thorough healthcare training with an emphasis on difficulties regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to handle difficulties varying from typical ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and defend against many conditions which the feet typically encounter.
