Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Calgary North specialize in the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of a decade in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to get a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to have a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles typical medical school and in fact many podiatry programmes are located inside these schools. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have gained substantial medical training with an emphasis on issues pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are trained to deal with problems ranging from common conditions for example, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are much more challenging for instance, clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have thorough surgical instruction which provide them the prior experience needed to carry out surgery on those troubles that are ideally 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 feet and legs submit to as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems makes it easy for a Foot doctor to design footwear and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and protect against many conditions which the feet normally experience.
