Foot & Ankle Care for New Hudson and Lyon Township

Residents here are often commuters, professionals, and active families who need efficient access to quality healthcare. Balance Foot & Ankle, led by Dr. Tom Biernacki, delivers expert podiatric care accessible to the New Hudson and Lyon Township community with same-week appointments and in-office diagnostic technology that delivers answers at the first visit.

Occupational Foot Health for New Hudson Patients
New Hudson’s population includes significant numbers of tradespeople, manufacturing workers, and healthcare professionals who spend prolonged hours on their feet. Occupational foot pain—plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, Achilles tendinopathy—is extremely common in these professions and responds well to custom orthotics, footwear counseling, and targeted treatment. Dr. Biernacki provides work-related foot care that keeps New Hudson patients productive and pain-free on the job, recommending OSHA-compliant supportive footwear when appropriate for trades and industrial workers.

New Hudson patients—busy commuters and professionals—appreciate efficiency. Balance Foot & Ankle’s in-office digital X-ray and musculoskeletal ultrasound mean most patients receive their diagnosis and initial treatment plan at the first appointment without returning for imaging results. Ultrasound-guided injections for plantar fasciitis and Morton’s neuroma are performed in-office with real-time imaging confirmation.
