Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote around ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in fact several podiatry training programs are located inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained extensive healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are qualified to care for concerns ranging from standard conditions like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which supply them the experience needed to execute surgical treatment on those issues that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors also have an extensive 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of a large number of problems which the feet frequently encounter.
