Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary West Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Calgary West focus on the surgical and medical therapy of the ankle and foot. Foot Institute Doctors invest an average of a decade in education, the first 4 years in undergrad studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School corresponds to typical medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programs are contained within these schools. After getting a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or post degree residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

Upon the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric doctors have obtained considerable health care training with a main focus on problems regarding the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to treat difficulties stretching from standard ailments for instance, fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are more obscure like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which furnish them the prior experience required to carry out surgery on those problems that are best remedied through surgical intervention.

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 undergo as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Understanding biomechanics and gait deviations empowers a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics that can bestow pain relief and defend against countless issues which the feet routinely experience.
