Podiatric Care for Romeo, Washington Township, and Armada
Residents of the Village of Romeo, Washington Township, and Armada in northeastern Macomb County receive board-certified podiatric care from the physicians at Balance Foot & Ankle. This area of outer Macomb County is characterized by a blend of residential communities, farmland, and small-town centers that attract families seeking a quieter pace of life within commuting distance of metropolitan Detroit. The active rural and semi-rural lifestyle of this region — including equestrian activities, farming, hunting, hiking, and youth sports in the Romeo Community Schools athletic programs — generates characteristic foot and ankle conditions that we treat with the same evidence-based standards as our urban and suburban patients.
What We Treat
Plantar fasciitis is the most common condition we treat in patients from outer Macomb County. Workers and residents who are on their feet for extended hours on hard surfaces develop heel pain that limits their activity and quality of life. Custom orthotics for work boots and athletic footwear, targeted stretching programs, and conservative injection and shockwave therapies resolve the majority of cases. Sports injuries from the active youth athletics community — ankle sprains, stress fractures, shin splints, and Achilles tendinopathy — receive prompt evaluation and individualized return-to-play management.
Diabetic foot care is available with same-week scheduling for patients needing nail care, neuropathy surveillance, and wound management. Bunion and hammertoe evaluation and surgical consultation, laser treatment for fungal nail infections, ingrown toenail procedures, and comprehensive ankle care including surgical evaluation for instability and arthritis are all provided. We accept Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Priority Health, and most other major insurance plans. Contact us to book an appointment.
