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 invest about a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles regular medical school and in reality many podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive healthcare education with a concentration on problems concerning the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to treat problems ranging from familiar conditions like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the expertise necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems allows a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous problems which the feet normally experience.
