Podiatric Care for Western Oakland County

Balance Foot & Ankle welcomes patients from Milford, South Lyon, New Hudson, Wixom, Highland, White Lake, and throughout western Oakland County to our podiatric practices. Dr. Tom Bembynista, DPM, provides comprehensive foot and ankle care for patients of all ages, offering western Oakland County communities convenient access to expert podiatric medicine. Our Howell and Bloomfield Hills locations both serve this geographic area, with Howell being particularly convenient for Milford and South Lyon area patients via US-23.

Western Oakland County communities have grown significantly in recent years, attracting active families and outdoor enthusiasts drawn to the area’s parks, lakes, hiking trails, and recreational facilities. The Huron-Clinton Metropark system, the Kensington-Milford area trail network, and the Island Lake Recreation Area support an active population with diverse foot and ankle care needs.

Active Community Foot Care

Milford and South Lyon attract residents who prioritize active lifestyles — running, cycling, hiking, and youth sports are all prominent in these communities. We treat the full spectrum of athletic and overuse foot conditions that active western Oakland County residents encounter: plantar fasciitis from trail running, ankle sprains from soccer and youth sports, Achilles tendinopathy from cycling and running, and stress fractures from ramping up spring training after Michigan’s winter. Our treatment philosophy for active patients emphasizes getting back to the activities you love as safely and quickly as possible, not simply telling people to stop exercising.

Custom foot orthotics for the specific footwear needs of western Oakland County’s outdoor community — trail running shoes, hiking boots, cycling shoes, and everyday athletic footwear — are a core service. We perform comprehensive biomechanical evaluations to identify the structural contributors to each patient’s foot condition and design orthotics that address those specific factors rather than providing generic arch support.

Family Foot Care in Milford and South Lyon

We welcome patients of all ages from western Oakland County. For children, we evaluate and treat Sever’s disease (common in youth soccer and cross-country running), pediatric flat feet, in-toeing gait, and ingrown toenails. For adults, we manage the range of conditions from acute injuries to chronic biomechanical problems to surgical planning for deformities that have failed conservative care. For seniors, we provide the comprehensive diabetic foot care, nail care, and arthritis management that supports mobility and independence in older age.
