Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have acquired encompassing healthcare instruction with an importance on complications involving the ankles and feet. They are taught to handle conditions ranging from familiar problems like fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical instruction which give them the skill vital to conduct surgical treatment on those troubles that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs undergo as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent many complications which the feet regularly experience.
