Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for issues ranging from regular afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more challenging like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the prior experience crucial to carry out surgery on those conditions that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid numerous conditions which the feet regularly encounter.
