Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality various podiatry training programs are contained within these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical training with a stress on difficulties concerning the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are studied to deal with problems extending from typical afflictions for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical instruction which give them the experience vital to perform surgery on those conditions that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs endure as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait peculiarities permits a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid a large number of problems which the feet commonly encounter.
