Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Okotoks specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our doctors devote an average of a decade in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in fact a number of podiatry programs are located within these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Foot doctors have acquired wide-ranging healthcare education with an emphasis on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are taught to deal with conditions varying from regular ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are even more puzzling for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have significant surgical training which give them the skill necessary to conduct surgical treatment on those complications that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or perform other activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait abnormalities permits a Podiatrist to create shoes and orthotics which can give pain relief and avoid countless complications which the feet generally experience.
