Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists devote an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs lie inside these schools. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired significant medical training with a concentration on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage conditions ranging from normal ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have extensive surgical education which provide them the practical experience necessary to execute surgery on those issues that are ideally managed through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and protect against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
