Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programmes lie within these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired substantial medical training with an emphasis on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to care for complications ranging from commonplace ailments like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more complicated for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical education which supply them the experience vital to perform surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise 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 makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many troubles which the feet generally encounter.
