Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to general medical school and in point of fact several podiatry training programs lie inside these academic institutions. Upon 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 Podiatrists have received wide-ranging medical instruction with a stress on complications concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to treat problems extending from standard conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complicated for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which give them the experience essential to perform surgery on those troubles that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics that can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet regularly encounter.
