Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists here at The Foot Institute – Okotoks specialise in the surgical and medical treatment of the foot and ankle. They spend an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to standard medical school and in fact many podiatry programs are located inside these schools. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute perform a hospital "internship" or residency for another one to three years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have obtained thorough health care training with an importance on difficulties involving the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are trained to treat problems varying from usual disorders for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical training which supply them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best treated through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors furthermore have a comprehensive practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet submit to as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Comprehending biomechanics and gait peculiarities makes it possible for a Podiatric physician to create shoes and orthotics which can bestow pain relief and defend against a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
