Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary North Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Specialists at The Foot Institute – Calgary North specialize in the surgical and medical treatment of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists put in around ten years in learning, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the following 4 years in Medical School to receive a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School resembles traditional medical school and as a matter of fact many podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Doctors at the Foot Institute finish a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another one to three years.

At the fulfillment of the internship or post degree residency, our Podiatrists have gained wide-ranging healthcare education with a main focus on difficulties pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are instructed to treat concerns extending from normal ailments such as ingrown and fungal toenails, to those which are much more sophisticated such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Doctors at the Foot Institute have thorough surgical education which furnish them the expertise required to carry out surgery on those issues that are best handled through surgical treatment.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a comprehensive practical 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. Learning about biomechanics and gait irregularities allows a Foot doctor to create shoes and orthotics which can provide pain relief and prevent countless conditions which the feet typically encounter.
