Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors devote an average of ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and as a matter of fact quite a number podiatry programmes are located within these schools. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have acquired considerable health care training with a concentration on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to address issues ranging from usual afflictions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and avoid many complications which the feet typically encounter.
