Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact quite a number podiatry training programs lie within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained thorough health care instruction with a concentration on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to handle problems varying from common disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise necessary to perform surgery on those concerns that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and defend against a large number of issues which the feet normally encounter.
