Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and quite a number podiatry programs are contained within these academic institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received substantial healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are taught to treat conditions extending from typical conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more intricate like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and reduce the chances of many problems which the feet typically experience.
