Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and many podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive health care training with a focus on conditions concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to deal with concerns ranging from typical conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet frequently encounter.
