Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They put in approximately 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the following four years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. Upon attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 to 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have received wide-ranging medical training with a main focus on concerns involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to deal with concerns stretching from usual disorders for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are even more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have considerable surgical education which provide them the experience needed to perform surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet endure as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait abnormalities enables a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and prevent numerous problems which the feet routinely experience.
