Foot and Ankle Structural Problems in Michigan: Diagnosis and Surgical Options

Michigan patients with structural foot and ankle problems — bunions, hammertoes, flatfoot deformity, cavus foot, ankle arthritis, or tendon disorders — benefit from evaluation by a fellowship-trained podiatric surgeon who can provide the full range of treatment options from conservative management through surgical correction. At Balance Foot & Ankle, structural foot problem evaluation always begins with a conservative trial when appropriate: custom orthotics, bracing, footwear modification, physical therapy, and injection therapy are offered and optimized before surgical options are discussed. When surgery is indicated, we use minimally invasive techniques where evidence supports them and open surgical correction for problems that require it. Our Michigan patients benefit from in-office X-ray, surgical facilities with modern fixation systems, and a coordinated post-operative rehabilitation protocol. Michigan patients with structural foot or ankle problems ready for a definitive evaluation can call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 for an appointment at our Howell or Bloomfield Hills office.

Foot and ankle health does not exist in isolation from the rest of the body — conditions including diabetes, peripheral arterial disease, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout have significant and direct effects on the foot. At Balance Foot & Ankle, we understand the intersection between systemic health and podiatric outcomes and coordinate with our patients’ primary care physicians, endocrinologists, rheumatologists, and vascular surgeons when managing complex conditions. Michigan patients managing chronic systemic conditions who have developed foot complications — neuropathy, circulatory insufficiency, inflammatory arthritis of the foot joints, or gout attacks — can receive coordinated podiatric care that integrates with their existing medical management. Our goal is to optimize foot function and prevent complications within the context of the patient’s overall health picture. Michigan patients with complex health histories affecting their foot and ankle health can call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 to schedule at our Howell or Bloomfield Hills office.
