Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained encompassing healthcare education with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to treat problems ranging from common conditions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to execute surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also 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 perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to develop footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally encounter.
