Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Health professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary North concentrate on the surgical and medical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors devote about 10 years in learning, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to attain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to regular medical school and many podiatry training programs are contained within these institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have gained wide-ranging medical training with an attention to on problems involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are studied to address conditions stretching from standard problems such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more complicated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical training which supply them the practical experience needed to perform surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge 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 activities. Knowing biomechanics and gait irregularities enables a Foot doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and avoid countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
