Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact various podiatry programs are located inside these academic institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging healthcare instruction with an emphasis on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to deal with complications ranging from conventional conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical training which supply them the experience required to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet typically experience.
