Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Airdrie Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Physicians here at The Foot Institute – Airdrie specialise in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to regular medical school and actually quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon obtaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have obtained significant medical training with a focus on conditions concerning the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are skilled to address difficulties ranging from standard ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are much more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have substantial surgical training which provide them the experience required to execute surgery on those concerns that are ideally treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait deviations facilitates a Podiatric physician to design footwear and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of numerous complications which the feet regularly encounter.
