Expert Podiatric Care for Macomb County Patients
Balance Foot & Ankle’s Bloomfield Hills location is conveniently accessible for patients throughout Macomb County, including Sterling Heights, Warren, Utica, Shelby Township, and surrounding communities. Dr. Tom provides comprehensive foot and ankle care for patients of all ages — from pediatric flatfoot to complex adult ankle reconstruction.
Many Macomb County residents choose Balance Foot & Ankle for the straightforward drive on I-75 or M-59, the personalized attention of a private practice, and the breadth of surgical and non-surgical capabilities available under one roof.
Common Conditions Treated
Services include heel pain and plantar fasciitis treatment, bunion correction (surgical and non-surgical), hammertoe repair, ingrown toenail removal, fungal nail treatment, ankle sprain rehabilitation and stabilization, custom orthotics fabrication, diabetic foot care and wound management, flat feet and high arch correction, Achilles tendinopathy, neuromas, tarsal tunnel syndrome, stress fractures, sports injuries, and gout management. Surgical consultations are available for all conditions requiring operative care.
Active Communities: Sterling Heights and Shelby Township
Macomb County’s active population — from rec league soccer players to marathon runners competing along the Macomb Orchard Trail to pickleball enthusiasts at facilities across Sterling Heights and Shelby Township — generates a consistent demand for sports podiatry services. Dr. Tom treats ankle sprains, stress fractures, plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and sports-related foot injuries with return-to-activity protocols that minimize time off the field or court.
Senior Foot Care in Macomb County
With a significant senior population, Macomb County patients frequently seek podiatric care for diabetic foot monitoring, toenail conditions, arthritic foot pain, and balance-related concerns. Dr. Tom provides gentle, thorough care for older patients and coordinates with primary care physicians and specialists to ensure comprehensive management. Regular podiatric visits are particularly important for seniors with diabetes, vascular disease, or neuropathy.
Custom Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics remain one of the most requested services for Macomb County patients. Devices are fabricated from a precise neutral cast impression and designed to fit specific footwear — whether dress shoes for office workers, athletic shoes for runners, or work boots for warehouse and construction workers common in the Macomb County workforce. Orthotics take 2–3 weeks to fabricate and are typically covered or partially covered by most insurance plans.
