Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Podiatrists invest around 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired considerable healthcare training with a concentration on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage difficulties ranging from conventional afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are even more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which provide them the prior experience necessary to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait abnormalities empowers a Podiatric doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid many problems which the feet usually experience.
