Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to treat issues varying from conventional disorders for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the practical experience needed to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many complications which the feet routinely encounter.
