Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and various podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired comprehensive medical instruction with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to care for conditions stretching from general disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which furnish them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and help prevent a large number of issues which the feet usually encounter.
