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. Our doctors invest about ten years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and in reality several podiatry programmes are contained within these schools. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with an attention to on problems concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to deal with problems extending from familiar ailments for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the practical experience required to perform surgical treatment on those concerns that are best managed through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and prevent countless issues which the feet typically experience.
