Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and many podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare education with an emphasis on issues regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage difficulties ranging from basic disorders for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are more puzzling for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which furnish them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet routinely experience.
