Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in point of fact many podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have obtained wide-ranging medical training with a stress on problems regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are taught to address problems extending from common conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more puzzling like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have substantial surgical education which supply them the prior experience vital to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and defend against a large number of troubles which the feet normally encounter.
