Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy 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 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have acquired considerable medical instruction with an emphasis on issues concerning the feet and ankles. They are studied to manage difficulties extending from familiar ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more complex such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the expertise required to carry out surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against countless complications which the feet commonly encounter.
