Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend around 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive medical training with an importance on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to care for problems stretching from simple ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which give them the experience required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of many issues which the feet typically encounter.
