Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and actually several podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have received comprehensive medical training with a main focus on conditions involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to handle concerns varying from common afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which supply them the expertise needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics that can give pain relief and protect against countless problems which the feet regularly experience.
