Michigan patients with foot pain deserve a thorough clinical evaluation that identifies the specific cause and directs effective treatment. At Balance Foot & Ankle, our fellowship-trained podiatric surgeons use weight-bearing digital X-rays, musculoskeletal ultrasound, and detailed clinical examination to establish accurate diagnoses for foot pain conditions — distinguishing plantar fasciitis from Baxter’s nerve entrapment, metatarsalgia from Morton’s neuroma, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction from tarsal tunnel syndrome, and stress fractures from soft tissue injuries. Treatment follows the diagnosis: custom orthotics, injection therapy, EPAT, bracing, physical therapy, or surgical correction depending on the condition and its severity.
