After qualifying from Queen Margaret University in 2000, Pamela continued her interest in sports injuries and biomechanics by obtaining an MSc in Sports Medicine from Glasgow University in 2001. Following on from establishing Instep Podiatry in 2004, she combines both clinical work and management duties and continues to develop and support the practitioners.
Includes an initial assessment of your foot structure and identifies any parts of the feet which may become problematic. You will be advised as to whether continued routine footcare is the best treatment plan for your feet. Verrucae are one of the most common foot problems among children and adults.
Biomechanics describes the way in which the skeleton is aligned and what effect it has on the surrounding soft tissues such as ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Podiatrists are trained to examine the lower limb to assess whether the position of the feet is causing an alignment problem within the body.
In some cases, attempts to resolve 'ingrown' toenails are not successful ie if the nail bed has been damaged or if your nail is shaped wrongly. Therefore you may be advised that nail surgery is necessary to resolve your nail problem. This is a short procedure using a local anaesthetic and you will be advised as to whether you require the whole or part of the nail removed.
