Podiatrists: Dr. Jason Lehr

Okotoks Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Medical professionals at The Foot Institute – Okotoks provide services for the medical and surgical treatment of the foot and ankle. Foot Institute Doctors put in an average of 10 years in education, the first four years in undergraduate studies to obtain a Bachelors Degree, and the next 4 years in Medical School to acquire a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to traditional medical school and in point of fact several podiatry programmes are contained inside these schools. 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 post degree residency, our Podiatrists have obtained comprehensive health care instruction with a main focus on problems pertaining to the ankles and feet. They are skilled to treat problems varying from commonplace afflictions for instance, ingrown and fungal toe nails, to those which are a lot more obscure such as clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our physicians have substantial surgical instruction which give them the experience needed to carry out surgical treatment on those problems that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Foot Institute Doctors likewise have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the legs and feet undergo as we walk, run or perform other activities. Realizing biomechanics and gait peculiarities facilitates a Podiatric physician to design shoes and orthotics that can give pain relief and prevent numerous complications which the feet typically encounter.
