Diabetes and Foot Health in Michigan: Preventive Podiatric Care at Balance Foot & Ankle

Michigan diabetes patients who are proactive about their foot health can dramatically reduce their risk of the serious complications — foot ulcers, infections, and amputations — that make diabetes the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputation in the United States. At Balance Foot & Ankle, diabetic foot care begins with a comprehensive diabetic foot examination that assesses protective sensation, vascular status, skin integrity, nail health, and structural foot deformities that increase ulcer risk. For diabetic patients with qualifying foot complications, we provide the Medicare Therapeutic Shoe Benefit (one pair of depth-inlay shoes and three pairs of inserts per calendar year), custom diabetic insoles, and prescription offloading devices when active wounds require pressure relief. Michigan diabetic patients who have not had a foot examination in the past year — or who have new symptoms like numbness, burning, or a wound that is not healing — can call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 to schedule a diabetic foot evaluation at our Howell or Bloomfield Hills location.
