Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in fact various podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant health care training with a stress on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to address concerns ranging from typical disorders like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a thorough expertise 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. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet generally encounter.
