Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They put in about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in reality numerous podiatry training programs are located within these institutions. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable healthcare instruction with a stress on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are instructed to handle issues ranging from commonplace disorders such as fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more challenging for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have comprehensive surgical education which give them the practical experience required to execute surgical treatment on those conditions that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise 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 activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Podiatrist to create footwear and orthotics that can offer pain relief and minimize the risk of countless problems which the feet frequently encounter.
