Podiatry Blogs
There are usually two reasons podiatrists and podiatry students are usually looking for podiatry blogs, and this page addresses both of them:
1)They want to find the best podiatry blog to read for themselves.
- Let me save you the trouble and click on the link to:
Podiatry Today Blog
- These are the best sets of blogs around, they will help you get your hands on the best proof read postings written by some of the best leaders in podiatry- Enough Said.
How your Podiatry Blog can Benefit!
2)They want to learn how to write their own blog because every podiatrist is trying to blog and get their name to show up fairly high in the Google search results (either as a podiatrist or a hired blogger)
-There are essentially 2 components to get your website some views and a boost in your search engine rankings:
A)The quality and keyword optimization of your posts – “The Boat”
– The better the knowledge you have on your post, the more people will want to read it, link to it and search for it. This is the concept many podiatrists have understanding. They simply title all their posts plantar fasciitis or heel pain; no one will ever come for these words because Wikipedia and WebMD will always kick our butt in this regard. We must learn to target words with little competition that we actually have a chance to rank for.
B)The number of links to our site and that page – “The Wind”
-The reason Wikipedia and WebMD beat us for those keywords is because they have thousands and thousands of “backlinks” to their site, this goes for us as well. The more backlinks we get the more competitive me are for those keywords. The game is simply- it just takes a great deal of work!
DetroitFootPain.com’s Goal for Podiatry Blogs
-Let’s start working together, I would love to backlink to other people and help sail their boat (website), and I would love for them to do the same for me.
Email Me at the contact page to start this backlinking relationship and lets get to work helping each other out!

Foot and Ankle Surgery in Michigan: When Surgery is the Right Choice
Michigan patients considering foot or ankle surgery benefit from a consultation with a fellowship-trained podiatric surgeon who can provide an honest assessment of whether surgery will produce better outcomes than continued conservative management. At Balance Foot & Ankle, surgical recommendations are made only after conservative treatment has been appropriately trialed — with the exception of conditions where early surgical intervention produces clearly superior outcomes (acute Achilles tendon rupture, Lisfranc fracture-dislocation, certain tibial fractures). For conditions like bunions, hammertoes, ankle instability, and Haglund’s deformity, surgical correction is recommended when the structural problem has progressed beyond what conservative management can address and when the patient’s functional goals are not being met. Michigan patients with a foot or ankle condition that has not responded to conservative care can call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 to schedule a surgical consultation at our Howell or Bloomfield Hills office.
Conservative Foot Treatment Options in Michigan: From Orthotics to EPAT
Michigan patients with foot and ankle conditions benefit from access to the full range of conservative treatment options at Balance Foot & Ankle. Custom orthotics fabricated from a 3D scan of the patient’s foot provide structural correction for flatfoot, high arch, and biomechanical overload conditions that OTC insoles cannot adequately address. EPAT (extracorporeal pulse activation therapy) provides a non-surgical treatment option for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and other tendon conditions that resist initial conservative care — clinical evidence shows 70-80% cure rates for chronic plantar fasciitis. Ultrasound-guided injection therapy allows precise corticosteroid, PRP, or local anesthetic delivery to specific anatomical targets including the plantar fascia insertion, retrocalcaneal bursa, Morton’s neuroma interspace, and ankle joint. Physical therapy coordination with specific home exercise prescription addresses strength and flexibility deficits that perpetuate foot and ankle conditions. Michigan patients who want conservative treatment options before considering surgery can call Balance Foot & Ankle at (810) 206-1402 for an evaluation at our Howell or Bloomfield Hills office.
