Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Calgary North specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists devote approximately 10 years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to secure a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to traditional medical school and as a matter of fact a number of podiatry programs lie within these institutions. After procuring a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have obtained considerable healthcare education with a focus on issues regarding the ankles and feet. They are trained to care for problems ranging from basic problems for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more intricate for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those conditions that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or carry out other tasks. Recognizing biomechanics and gait abnormalities allows a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can deliver pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet frequently experience.
