Allen Park and Lincoln Park at a Glance
Allen Park, located just south of Dearborn in central Wayne County, is a active community of approximately 28,000 residents. Known for its strong schools, well-maintained neighborhoods along Outer Drive and Allen Road, and proximity to major employers including the Ford Motor Company complex, Allen Park offers a high quality of suburban life. Its neighbor to the south, Lincoln Park — population approximately 37,000 — is one of the larger Downriver communities, with a dense residential character, active community programs, and easy access to Southfield Freeway (M-39) and I-75 for commuters.
Both communities are home to active populations of families, retirees, and working adults who deserve convenient access to high-quality specialty medical care including podiatry. We are pleased to serve these Downriver communities.
Services Available to Allen Park and Lincoln Park Patients
Heel Pain — Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis — the most common cause of heel pain — produces sharp, stabbing pain with the first morning steps. Our comprehensive treatment approach includes custom orthotics, targeted stretching programs, corticosteroid injections, and advanced therapies such as extracorporeal shockwave (ESWT) for cases that do not respond to initial treatment. Most patients achieve significant relief within 8–12 weeks of properly directed care.
Diabetic Foot Care and Wound Management
Wayne County has significant rates of diabetes-related foot complications. Our diabetic foot program includes comprehensive annual examinations, monofilament sensory testing, vascular assessment, custom therapeutic footwear, and specialized wound care for ulcerations. Proactive diabetic foot management saves limbs and lives — we partner with primary care physicians and endocrinologists to coordinate comprehensive diabetic care.
Bunion Surgery and Conservative Bunion Care
Hallux valgus (bunion) deformity causes the great toe to angle toward the second toe, producing a painful prominence at the base of the big toe. We offer conservative management with orthotics, padding, and footwear counseling, as well as surgical correction when conservative care is insufficient. Minimally invasive bunion surgery techniques now allow many patients to walk immediately after surgery with shorter recovery timelines.
Ankle Injuries and Sprains
Whether from a sports injury, a misstep off a curb, or chronic instability from repeated sprains, ankle problems respond well to early, properly directed treatment. We offer acute sprain management, functional rehabilitation, bracing, and surgical ligament reconstruction for chronic instability.
Hammertoes and Lesser Toe Deformities
Flexible and rigid hammertoe deformities cause pain and difficulty finding comfortable footwear. Conservative padding and toe splinting help flexible deformities; surgical correction of rigid deformities restores comfortable shoe fit and eliminates painful dorsal pressure.
Toenail Conditions
Ingrown toenails (treated in-office under local anesthesia), toenail fungus (treated with topical, oral, and laser therapies), and subungual hematomas (blood under the nail from injury) are all managed effectively in our office. Diabetic patients receive professional nail care to prevent complications from self-trimming.
