Podiatric Care for Macomb County: Clinton Township, Macomb Township, Shelby Township, and Beyond
Medically Reviewed by Dr. Tom Biernacki, DPM — Board-Certified Podiatrist, Balance Foot & Ankle Specialists, Michigan. Last updated April 2026.
Macomb County is one of Michigan’s fastest-growing counties — with Clinton Township, Macomb Township, Shelby Township, Chesterfield Township, and surrounding communities expanding rapidly with young families, active adults, and a diverse population seeking quality healthcare close to home. Balance Foot & Ankle provides specialist-level podiatric medicine and surgery for Macomb County residents from our Bloomfield Township location, conveniently accessible via M-59, M-53, or M-97.
Serving Macomb County’s Active Communities
Macomb County has a strong recreational sports culture — youth soccer, travel baseball, lacrosse and hockey programs, adult recreational leagues, running events, and an active outdoor community using Stony Creek Metropark, Wolcott Mill, and surrounding recreational areas. This active population sustains foot and ankle injuries that require specialist podiatric evaluation and treatment.
Youth and High School Athletics
Macomb County’s high schools field competitive athletic programs across all sports. We provide sports-medicine podiatry for student athletes with ankle sprains, stress fractures, Achilles injuries, turf toe, and all other foot and ankle complaints — with a return-to-sport focus that keeps athletes competing as safely and quickly as possible.
Adult Recreational Athletes
From the active running community to youth sport parents who coach and play themselves, adult recreational athletes throughout Macomb County develop the same overuse and acute injuries as their younger counterparts — but often have less recovery time tolerance and more complex baseline foot issues. We provide adult sports podiatry that considers the full context of each patient’s life, not just the athletic injury in isolation.
Comprehensive Podiatric Services for Macomb County Patients
Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain
Michigan’s most common podiatric complaint — we treat it effectively with individualized protocols from stretching and night splints through custom orthotics, injection therapy, shockwave, and surgery when needed.
Bunions
Bunion deformity affects a significant proportion of Macomb County’s population. We provide accurate deformity assessment and personalized management — from conservative accommodation for patients not ready for surgery to modern surgical correction with excellent outcomes and recovery protocols designed to minimize time away from work and activities.
Diabetic Foot Care
Macomb County has a significant diabetic population that requires proactive foot care to prevent complications. Our annual diabetic foot examinations, therapeutic footwear, and wound care services protect against the serious complications of diabetic neuropathy and vascular disease.
Ingrown Toenails
Permanent in-office correction with local anesthesia — eliminating the ingrown nail problem definitively rather than requiring repeated trimming procedures.
Custom Orthotics
Biomechanically precise custom foot orthotics for athletic performance, daily comfort, and medical necessity — fabricated from individual casts for each patient’s unique anatomy.
Insurance and Access for Macomb County Patients
We accept most insurance plans serving Macomb County including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Priority Health, HAP, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare.
