Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary West Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Dr.’s at The Foot Institute – Calgary West concentrate on the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Our doctors spend about 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to acquire a Bachelors Degree, and the 2nd four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in reality several podiatry programs are located within these institutions. Upon securing a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the conclusion of the internship or residency, our Podiatric physicians have received significant health care instruction with an importance on complications regarding the ankles and feet. Foot Institute Doctors are trained to manage conditions varying from normal problems for example, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are more obscure including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which furnish them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those concerns that are best managed through surgical intervention.

Doctors at the Foot Institute also have a comprehensive expertise and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet go through as we walk, run or perform other activities. Learning about biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatrist to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent many issues which the feet regularly experience.
