Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They devote approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained substantial health care education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to deal with complications ranging from standard ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more sophisticated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which provide them the skill necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
