Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial health care training with an attention to on complications concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are instructed to care for conditions extending from basic conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which provide them the expertise necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait peculiarities allows a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet normally experience.
