Expert Podiatric Care for Michigan Patients: Balance Foot & Ankle
Michigan patients with any foot or ankle condition — whether a first-time acute problem or a chronic issue that has not responded to self-care — can access expert podiatric evaluation and treatment at Balance Foot & Ankle. Our fellowship-trained podiatric surgeons provide thorough diagnostic evaluation using weight-bearing digital X-rays and musculoskeletal ultrasound, followed by targeted conservative or surgical treatment appropriate to the specific diagnosis. We treat the full spectrum of podiatric conditions: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and rupture, Haglund’s deformity, bunions, hammertoes, neuromas, peripheral neuropathy, diabetic foot complications, toenail fungus, ankle instability, stress fractures, and more. Balance Foot & Ankle accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Medicare, and most Medicare Advantage plans. Same-week new patient appointments are available at our Howell (4330 E Grand River, serving Livingston County) and Bloomfield Hills (43494 Woodward Ave #208, serving Oakland County) offices. Call (810) 206-1402 to schedule.
Conservative Foot Treatment Options in Michigan: From Orthotics to EPAT
Michigan patients with foot and ankle conditions benefit from access to the full range of conservative treatment options at Balance Foot & Ankle. Custom orthotics fabricated from a 3D scan of the patient’s foot provide structural correction for flatfoot, high arch, and biomechanical overload conditions that OTC insoles cannot adequately address. EPAT (extracorporeal pulse activation therapy) provides a non-surgical treatment option for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other tendon conditions that resist initial conservative care — clinical evidence shows 70-80% cure rates for chronic plantar fasciitis. Ultrasound-guided injection therapy allows precise corticosteroid, PRP, or local anesthetic delivery to specific anatomical targets including the plantar fascia insertion, retrocalcaneal bursa, Morton’s neuroma interspace, and ankle joint. Physical therapy coordination with specific home exercise prescription addresses strength and flexibility deficits that perpetuate foot and ankle conditions. Michigan patients who want conservative treatment options before considering surgery can call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 for an evaluation at our Howell or Bloomfield Hills office.
