Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. Upon getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 to 3 years.

Upon the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received encompassing health care training with a concentration on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. They are instructed to treat difficulties ranging from normal conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more sophisticated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have extensive surgical training which supply them the expertise vital to conduct surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive practical knowledge 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. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities enables a Podiatric physician to develop footwear and orthotics which can offer pain relief and protect against many issues which the feet generally experience.
