Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in point of fact numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical education with a focus on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to manage issues stretching from normal afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and minimize the risk of countless issues which the feet commonly encounter.
