Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical doctors at The Foot Institute – Okotoks focus on the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Our doctors invest around 10 years in higher education, the first four years in undergrad studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the next four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in fact several podiatry programs lie inside these institutions. After securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 - 3 years.

At the completion of the internship or post degree residency, our Doctors have acquired comprehensive medical training with a concentration on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat problems ranging from commonplace afflictions for example, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are far more complex for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the skill needed to conduct surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors additionally have a thorough expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs receive as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatric doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and help prevent many complications which the feet commonly experience.
