Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging health care education with a stress on problems concerning the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to handle conditions ranging from common ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have considerable surgical education which furnish them the experience crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those troubles that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have an extensive 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 tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait irregularities empowers a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can offer pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet normally encounter.
