Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They invest approximately ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable health care education with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties varying from commonplace disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can provide pain relief and reduce the chances of many conditions which the feet frequently encounter.
