Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They spend an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality various podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have gained comprehensive medical instruction with a stress on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to care for difficulties stretching from normal disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which give them the experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations permits a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
