Balance Foot & Ankle: Bloomfield Township’s Home for Expert Podiatric Care
Balance Foot & Ankle’s Bloomfield Township location sits at the heart of Oakland County’s most prestigious residential communities — Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Troy, West Bloomfield, and surrounding areas. We serve Oakland County with the same standard of subspecialty foot and ankle care our Howell practice provides Livingston County: expert diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, and a conservative-first philosophy that puts patients first.
Oakland County’s Premier Podiatric Practice
Oakland County residents have high standards for every aspect of their lives — including their healthcare. Balance Foot & Ankle’s Bloomfield Township practice meets those standards with subspecialty surgical expertise, in-office diagnostic imaging (digital X-ray and musculoskeletal ultrasound), and a comprehensive approach to foot and ankle care that covers everything from common conditions to the most complex reconstructive challenges.

Comprehensive Podiatric Services at Our Bloomfield Township Office
Sports Medicine Podiatry
Oakland County’s athletic community — from the high-powered high school programs in Troy, Birmingham, and Lake Orion to the professional and semi-professional athletes who call Oakland County home — generates significant demand for expert sports foot and ankle care. We provide ankle sprain evaluation and treatment, return-to-sport protocols, stress fracture evaluation, Achilles tendinopathy management, and the full spectrum of sports podiatry at our Bloomfield Township office.
Bunion and Hammertoe Correction
Structural foot deformities are common among Oakland County’s population, which includes many women who’ve spent decades in dress shoes and heels for professional environments. We provide accurate assessment and state-of-the-art surgical correction when appropriate, with recovery protocols designed to minimize time away from work and activities.
Heel Pain and Plantar Fasciitis
The most common podiatric complaint — treated with the full spectrum of evidence-based options from conservative stretching and orthotics through shockwave therapy and surgical release for refractory cases.
Ankle Ligament Reconstruction
Chronic ankle instability from repeated sprains is a quality-of-life limiting condition that is definitively correctable with the Broström-Gould procedure. We perform ankle reconstruction at our Bloomfield Township practice for Oakland County patients seeking a return to confident, stable sport and activity.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive diabetic foot evaluation, therapeutic footwear, and wound care for Oakland County’s diabetic population — preventing the serious complications that begin with neuropathy and end with preventable amputations.
Insurance and Scheduling
We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Priority Health, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare.
