Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our doctors put in an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in fact several podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired wide-ranging healthcare training with an emphasis on problems pertaining to the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to handle problems ranging from standard ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have significant surgical education which furnish them the experience necessary to execute surgery on those conditions that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to develop footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid numerous issues which the feet usually encounter.
