Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received extensive medical training with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to address problems ranging from standard disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more perplexing for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience crucial to execute surgical treatment on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet receive as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and protect against numerous problems which the feet usually experience.
