Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in approximately ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received extensive medical training with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to manage complications varying from general ailments for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are far more complex like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have extensive surgical training which give them the skill vital to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities empowers a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against numerous issues which the feet regularly encounter.
