Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors spend an average of 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to get a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality a number of podiatry programmes are located within these institutions. Upon acquiring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or residency, our Doctors have obtained substantial healthcare training with a focus on difficulties regarding the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to address issues ranging from typical conditions for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more puzzling such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the prior experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities permits a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and help prevent many conditions which the feet normally encounter.
