Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and several podiatry programmes are located within these schools. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained considerable medical education with an attention to on issues concerning the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for complications varying from conventional conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have significant surgical training which provide them the practical experience necessary to perform surgery on those problems that are best handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have an extensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and avoid many issues which the feet normally experience.
