Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get 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 numerous podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable health care training with an emphasis on issues involving the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to care for problems extending from regular problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more complex for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of countless issues which the feet typically encounter.
