Dave Cashley owns Dundee Podiatry Clinic in Scottland. He has a special interest in lower extremity manipulation, and this interest has led Dave to publish and lecture extensively on this particular topic. He is now studying toward a PhD.
His research is based around the treatment of neuromas, doing a parallel study of manual therapy versus steroid injections.
The Best Thing About Neuromas
You don’t need any fancy kit to diagnose or treat it, other professionals stay away from it, and no one outside of podiatry gets good results.
It's a common, debilitating problem, and we can make a big difference in people’s lives.
On this episode we discuss:
- Other treatment modalities and why Dave leaned towards manual therapy
- Clinical biases - Are the results you’re getting in the clinic a fluke or the real deal.
- Biased questioning to patients
- Dave explains how research questions differ from what we would typically ask in a clinical situation
- Minimal patient contact during research
- How manual therapy became an interest and his connection with other podiatrists in this area
- Why podiatrists should be making a decent income regardless of their area of interest. "If you have a paupers mentality, you will make a paupers wage".
- If you’re struggling to make money, you need to get a mentor, and you need to change your mindset. "To find your destination you've got to get on the right bus".
Final Tip:
If you do not love life as a podiatrist have a look around and make some changes. Podiatry is one of the greatest professions on the planet.
