Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually various podiatry training programs are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare education with a main focus on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to care for difficulties varying from normal afflictions for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical education which provide them the skill essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent a large number of conditions which the feet routinely encounter.
