Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors put in about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in reality various podiatry programs are located inside these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired extensive health care education with a focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from usual ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are much more challenging including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical training which give them the prior experience needed to perform surgery on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet generally encounter.
