Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and in fact many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive medical training with a concentration on difficulties concerning the ankles and feet. They are qualified to handle concerns varying from regular conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which provide them the practical experience required to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet normally encounter.
