Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote approximately ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and actually numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received wide-ranging health care education with an emphasis on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage difficulties varying from standard ailments such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which provide them the experience necessary to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
