Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired significant medical education with an importance on conditions regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are qualified to care for issues ranging from conventional conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more intricate for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical instruction which provide them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many troubles which the feet typically encounter.
