Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. They put in around 10 years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained extensive medical education with an importance on conditions pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage conditions extending from simple ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are more obscure for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical training which give them the practical experience needed to carry out surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors also have a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs go through as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet regularly experience.
