Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in about ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact a number of podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have received comprehensive medical instruction with a main focus on complications involving the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from usual problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and prevent countless troubles which the feet generally experience.
