The Range of Podiatric Services at Balance Foot & Ankle
Our practice provides the complete spectrum of podiatric medicine and surgery. For patients with chronic conditions — bunions, hammertoes, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and midfoot or ankle arthritis — we provide thorough biomechanical evaluation, comprehensive conservative management including custom orthotics, and surgical consultation when indicated. For patients with acute injuries — ankle sprains, fractures, tendon ruptures — we provide urgent evaluation with in-office diagnostic imaging and evidence-based management that gets patients back to function as efficiently as possible.
Our practice philosophy centers on accurate diagnosis first — never assuming plantar fasciitis until it’s been confirmed and distinguished from the several other conditions that mimic it, never jumping to surgical recommendations without ensuring a meaningful trial of appropriate conservative treatment. This thoughtful, diagnostic-driven approach produces better outcomes and better patient experiences than pattern-matching to common diagnoses without individualized evaluation.

Comprehensive diabetic foot care — annual evaluations, neuropathy assessment, vascular screening, preventive education, wound care, and diabetic shoe fitting — is available at our Bloomfield Township location.

Early intervention for even minor foot problems in diabetic patients is a core principle of our practice — preventing the preventable complications that remain far too common in Michigan.
