Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors here at The Foot Institute – Calgary North provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our podiatrists invest about 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to conventional medical school and in fact numerous podiatry programmes are located inside these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained thorough healthcare instruction with a main focus on concerns concerning the feet and ankles. They are trained to handle complications ranging from basic ailments for instance, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are even more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical instruction which supply them the experience necessary to execute surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally managed through surgical treatment.

Our Doctors additionally have an extensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait abnormalities makes it easy for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and defend against numerous complications which the feet usually experience.
