Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s here at The Foot Institute – Calgary North specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. They invest an average of ten years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to general medical school and in point of fact many podiatry training programs lie inside these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have received thorough medical instruction with an importance on issues pertaining to the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are qualified to address concerns ranging from simple conditions such as ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more challenging for example, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which provide them the prior experience essential to perform surgical treatment on those troubles that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute furthermore have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to develop shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and help prevent numerous issues which the feet routinely experience.
