Lefort Podiatry Forest Hill
Consulting in Whitehorse

Help for foot problems podiatrist jeremy lefort has a particular interest in treating chronic foot, ankle pain and lower leg pain, a common complaint among all age groups and activity levels. Ingrown nails, a painful problem frequently requiring surgery to remove a section of nail, is done at the clinic under local anaesthetic. Mr lefort also treats general skin and nail complaints, manages the feet of those with diabetes and other chronic conditions as well as assesses and manages children with walking problems such as toe walking and painful paediatric conditions. Dry needling is used to treat trigger points while joint mobilsation and gentle manipulation helps the joints move without restriction. "i offer further more specialised treatments including joint mobilisation and manipulation and the use of acupuncture needles into painful muscles (dry needling) to augment the orthotics and achieve more rapid resolution of the symptoms,"mr lefort said. Mr lefort, who has degrees in podiatry and nursing, has learned new techniques and refined his skills in treating foot problems. He says whilst prescription insoles (orthotics) are frequently used with success, often the pain may be associated with more complex undiagnosed muscle and joint dysfunction. Consultations are available Monday and Wednesday 9am to 6.30pm:Friday until 5pm: from 9am to 1pm and 1.30pm to 5.30pm on alternate Tuesdays.
