Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and actually numerous podiatry training programs are located inside these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have received extensive healthcare instruction with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are qualified to address problems varying from regular ailments like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have significant surgical education which furnish them the prior experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those complications that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive 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 activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and reduce the chances of countless complications which the feet generally experience.
