Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained within these schools. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have acquired extensive medical education with a main focus on complications involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications ranging from commonplace afflictions such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical instruction which supply them the practical experience necessary to conduct surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet frequently encounter.
