Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Podiatrists here at The Foot Institute – Okotoks provide services for the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. They invest around 10 years in higher education, the first 4 years in undergraduate studies to achieve a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to secure a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles conventional medical school and in fact quite a number podiatry programmes lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the completion of the internship or residency, our Foot doctors have gained significant healthcare instruction with a concentration on concerns pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat difficulties ranging from simple ailments for instance fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are far more complicated for example clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at The Foot Institute have comprehensive surgical training which supply them the practical experience crucial to perform surgical treatment on those issues that are ideally treated through surgical treatment.

Doctors at the Foot Institute likewise have an extensive knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Having knowledge of biomechanics and gait problems empowers a Podiatrist to develop shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and reduce the chances of a large number of complications which the feet routinely encounter.
