Mr Aidan James Blanchard is a podiatrist who helps people across Lithgow and the wider NSW Central West. He works from 11 Bridge Street, Lithgow NSW 2790, where his focus stays on the stuff that affects you day to day—pain in your feet, sore nails, and problems that keep coming back.
As a general podiatrist, Mr Blanchard looks after a wide range of foot issues. Many patients come in because they’re dealing with pain when they walk or stand, especially if they’ve had the problem for a while. Others just want answers after trying things at home that didn’t really help.
He provides foot pain evaluation, so you can get a clearer idea of what’s going on and what might make things better. This can include checking how you move, where your pressure lands, and what kind of footwear you’re using. In many cases, small changes can make a big difference, but at times you may need a more targeted plan.
Toenails can also be a big source of trouble. Mr Blanchard treats ingrown toenails, including when the skin gets sore or swollen. He aims to make the treatment straightforward and focused on getting you comfortable again, while also helping reduce the chance of it becoming a repeat issue.
He also works with skin and surface problems, including plantar wart removal. Warts can be stubborn, and it can feel frustrating when they keep returning. A careful check helps confirm what it is and guide the next steps.
Orthotic fitting is another part of the service. If your feet aren’t getting the support they need, it can affect how you walk and how your joints feel. Orthotics may be considered when they fit with your situation, your comfort, and your everyday routine.
Mr Blanchard’s approach is practical. He keeps things calm and plain-language, so you’re not left guessing. Over time, he’s built up practical experience working with everyday foot problems for people of different ages and activity levels. His work is guided by podiatry training and good clinical care, with a focus on what will actually help you get back on your feet.
At this stage, there’s no public detail listed about clinical research or trials. What is clear is that his clinic stays focused on assessment and treatment for common podiatry concerns, including foot pain, ingrown toenails, plantar warts, and orthotic support.
