Conditions We Treat
We treat the full range of foot and ankle conditions for Western Wayne County patients including plantar fasciitis and heel spurs, bunions at all severity levels, hammertoes and lesser toe deformities, ingrown toenails with permanent solutions for recurrent cases, toenail fungus, diabetic foot complications, peripheral neuropathy, ankle sprains and chronic instability, flat feet, Achilles tendinitis, and arthritic foot and ankle conditions requiring conservative or surgical management.
Diabetic Foot Care in Wayne County
Wayne County has one of Michigan’s highest diabetes prevalence rates. For patients with diabetes, foot care prevents amputations and preserves quality of life. At Balance Foot & Ankle, we provide annual comprehensive diabetic foot exams, neuropathy screening, vascular assessment, diabetic footwear prescriptions, wound care for diabetic ulcers, and coordination with primary care and endocrinology for integrated diabetes management.
Occupational Foot Pain in Western Wayne County
The Western Wayne County workforce includes large numbers of employees in manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and service industries who spend hours standing and walking on hard surfaces. We treat workers with occupational plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and Achilles problems, providing custom orthotics compatible with work boot and industrial footwear. We coordinate with occupational medicine physicians for work-related injury cases when appropriate.
Bunion and Surgical Care
When bunions and hammertoes have progressed beyond conservative management, surgical correction provides lasting relief. We discuss all surgical options including modern minimally invasive approaches where appropriate and provide realistic recovery expectations before any procedure is scheduled. Patient education and informed consent are central to our surgical care philosophy.
