Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and various podiatry programs are contained within these institutions. Upon achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have acquired considerable medical education with a stress on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are qualified to manage difficulties ranging from commonplace conditions like ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical instruction which give them the skill essential to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities facilitates a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against many troubles which the feet routinely experience.
