Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest around ten years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to standard medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained comprehensive medical training with an emphasis on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are educated to treat conditions varying from usual conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the skill crucial to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet generally experience.
