Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie provide services for the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists put in an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant health care training with a stress on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are instructed to care for problems extending from general afflictions such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet routinely encounter.
