Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in fact numerous podiatry training programs are contained inside these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained significant medical instruction with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are skilled to treat complications ranging 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. Our physicians have substantial surgical education which furnish them the experience vital to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatric doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet normally encounter.
