Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Okotoks specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They put in an average of a decade in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to typical medical school and as a matter of fact several podiatry training programs lie within these institutions. After achieving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute undertake a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained thorough medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are studied to manage issues ranging from usual ailments such as fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more puzzling including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical education which give them the experience vital to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are best remedied through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Knowing biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
