Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote around a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to receive a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles standard medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have received comprehensive health care education with an importance on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to address complications stretching from familiar ailments like ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more sophisticated including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical education which provide them the skill crucial to perform surgery on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors 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 activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous problems which the feet usually encounter.
