Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest about 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to usual medical school and actually many podiatry training programs are contained inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have gained significant medical training with an emphasis on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage difficulties extending from common conditions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the skill necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually experience.
