Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Okotoks specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors spend about 10 years in education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles usual medical school and in reality numerous podiatry programs are located within these institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute carry out a hospital "internship" or residency for another 1 to 3 years.

At the conclusion of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatric physicians have gained extensive healthcare training with an attention to on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. Our Doctors are taught to handle problems ranging from conventional conditions for example, ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are far more perplexing such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have substantial surgical training which give them the prior experience required to conduct surgical treatment on those problems that are best treated through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors likewise have a thorough knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Recognizing biomechanics and gait problems permits a Foot doctor to create footwear and orthotics which can deliver pain relief and defend against many complications which the feet normally encounter.
