The Annual Professional Care Layer
Products manage your feet between visits. Professional care manages the things products can’t:
- Annual diabetic foot exam: Covered by Medicare. Identifies neuropathy, vascular issues, and pre-ulcerative lesions before they become problems.
- Therapeutic shoes + 3 inserts: Covered by Medicare annually. Prevents pressure points.
- Nail care every 60 days: Medicare-covered for at-risk patients. Safe professional nail trimming.
- Wound care as needed: If anything opens — call us immediately.
Our Howell office coordinates with Vassallo Medical Group (same road — Grand River Ave) for patients with diabetes, vascular disease, and systemic conditions. Coordinated care for Livingston County patients.

Clinical Foot Care Beyond Products: Michigan’s Balance Foot & Ankle
Michigan patients using foot care products — wound care supplies, topical treatments, foot supplements, compression garments, orthotics, or stretching devices — as part of their foot health routine benefit from occasional clinical evaluation to ensure the products they are using are appropriate for their specific condition and that no developing pathology requires professional intervention. At Balance Foot & Ankle, our clinical evaluation confirms the diagnosis, assesses whether current product-based management is adequate, and identifies cases where professional treatment would produce better outcomes than continued self-management.
For Michigan patients managing chronic conditions — diabetic foot care, neuropathy management, post-surgical recovery, or persistent tendinopathy — regular podiatric check-ins at appropriate intervals ensure that small changes are caught before they become significant complications. The right interval varies by condition and risk level: high-risk diabetic patients benefit from quarterly visits; stable patients using products for minor chronic conditions may need only annual check-ins. At Balance Foot & Ankle, we help patients identify the appropriate visit frequency for their specific situation. Livingston and Oakland County patients can call (810) 206-1402 to schedule at our Howell or Bloomfield Hills office.
Patients throughout Livingston and Oakland counties trust Balance Foot & Ankle for both clinical podiatric care and evidence-based guidance on foot health products and self-care strategies. Our two Michigan locations — Howell at 4330 E Grand River and Bloomfield Hills at 43494 Woodward Ave #208 — are easily accessible from throughout the region, with ample parking and same-week scheduling for new patients. Whether you need a comprehensive evaluation, a product recommendation, or a specific podiatric procedure, our team is ready to help. Call (810) 206-1402 to schedule.
