Comprehensive Foot and Ankle Care for Macomb County Patients
Balance Foot & Ankle serves patients from Mount Clemens, New Baltimore, Chesterfield Township, and the broader northern and eastern Macomb County area. Our board-certified podiatrists provide expert diagnosis and treatment for all foot and ankle conditions — from plantar fasciitis and bunions to complex reconstructive surgery and diabetic foot care.
As the county seat of Macomb County, Mount Clemens is home to many residents who need specialized foot and ankle care that goes beyond what a primary care office can provide. Our Macomb County podiatrists bring fellowship-trained surgical expertise combined with a full range of conservative treatments.
Conditions We Treat
Plantar fasciitis is the most common foot condition in Michigan and frequently affects patients throughout northern Macomb County. The classic stabbing heel pain with the first steps of the morning is often present for months before patients seek care from a podiatrist. Our structured treatment program achieves lasting relief for the vast majority of patients without surgery.
Bunion deformity affecting the big toe joint is another frequent concern for patients in the Mount Clemens and New Baltimore area. We provide both conservative bunion management and surgical correction including minimally invasive techniques and the Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction procedure. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore comfortable footwear use, and achieve durable correction.
Hammertoe deformities causing painful corns and difficulty with footwear are effectively treated with in-office conservative care for flexible hammertoes and surgical correction for rigid deformities. Ankle arthritis causing progressive stiffness and pain is evaluated with weight-bearing imaging and managed with orthotics, bracing, injection therapy, and surgical options including total ankle replacement and ankle fusion.
Diabetic Foot Care
Macomb County has a significant diabetic population, and comprehensive diabetic foot care is a priority at our practice. Annual foot exams, monofilament neuropathy testing, ABI vascular screening, diabetic footwear and custom orthotic fitting, and wound care for diabetic foot ulcers are all provided. Preventing diabetic foot amputations through proactive monitoring is a core part of our mission.
Nail and Skin Conditions
Ingrown toenails, fungal nail infections (onychomycosis), plantar warts, calluses, and corns are common skin and nail conditions that our podiatrists diagnose and treat. In-office procedures for ingrown toenails provide rapid relief and permanent correction when desired.
