Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists spend approximately a decade in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have obtained extensive healthcare education with a main focus on complications concerning the feet and ankles. They are taught to care for issues varying from standard conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have extensive surgical education which furnish them the experience essential to perform surgery on those problems that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
