Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Calgary West Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Calgary West focus on the medical and surgical treatment of the ankle and foot. They devote an average of ten years in education, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second four years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to usual medical school and in reality several podiatry programs lie within these academic institutions. Upon receiving a Podiatric Medial Degree, Podiatrists at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for yet another 1 - 3 years.

At the finalization of the internship or residency, our Podiatrists have received comprehensive healthcare training with an emphasis on concerns involving the feet and ankles. Foot Institute Doctors are educated to treat difficulties varying from normal problems like fungal and ingrown toe nails, to those which are a lot more complex including clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have comprehensive surgical instruction which give them the experience crucial to conduct surgery on those concerns that are ideally handled through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors additionally have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs experience as we walk, run or perform other tasks. Realizing biomechanics and gait problems facilitates a Podiatrist to design footwear and orthotics which can give pain relief and minimize the risk of numerous complications which the feet routinely encounter.
