Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are contained within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging medical instruction with a concentration on problems involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to care for problems extending from normal ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complicated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical training which provide them the prior experience required to perform surgery on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Comprehending biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent many issues which the feet frequently encounter.
