Lee Burke BSc (Hons) Podiatry

I enjoy Podiatry because it enables me to help people by applying a medical science to their concern. My interest in Podiatry grows with each person I help. I particularly enjoy biomechanical assessments and helping people resolve their sports injuries. As a Podiatrist I attended the Special Olympics and have provided services to the Scottish Premier League Football club Kilmarnock. Outside of work I like to keep fit by playing football and boxing. I'm a big fan of Aberdeen Restaurant in Palmerston North but that doesn't mean I'll support Aberdeen football club! 
 

Welcome

Thank you for choosing to see a Foot Mechanics Podiatrist. We have prepared this information to make you feel welcome at our clinic. Firstly we want you to know that your feet are in good hands. Podiatrists are registered health professionals and are the experts in lower limb health. You should feel free to ask questions at any stage during your visit to see us, we are here to help you.

A consultation with a Foot Mechanics Podiatrist will always start with a discussion with you. In medical terms we call this history taking and this helps us understand the background, and context to the problem you want help with. Once we understand what you want help with the Podiatrist will do an assessment. The assessment enables the Podiatrist to understand the medical background to your problem, the Podiatrist will explain the findings to you, and you are welcome to ask any questions so that you understand.

The Podiatrist will explain the treatment plan with you and in most cases treatment can start today. Again ask any question you may have. Thanks again, and we look forward to helping you.
