Dr. Tom Biernacki’s Recommendation
Milford and Oxford are special communities with really distinct characters – Milford with the trail runners and kayakers along the Huron River, Oxford with the equestrian community and farming heritage. The patients from these areas appreciate that I understand their lifestyle and activity goals. An Oxford equestrian needs orthotics that work in a riding boot. A Milford rail-trail runner needs a return-to-run protocol. Getting those details right for each individual makes the difference.
