Our core services include plantar fasciitis and heel pain management (one of the most common reasons patients in all communities seek podiatric care), bunion correction including minimally invasive techniques, hammertoe and toe deformity correction, Morton’s neuroma treatment, ingrown toenail management, toenail fungus treatment, custom orthotics, diabetic foot care and wound management, ankle sprain and instability management, and complex surgical reconstruction.

Diabetic Foot Care for the Pontiac Community

Pontiac and northern Oakland County have significant rates of diabetes, obesity, and their associated complications. Diabetic foot disease is a leading cause of preventable hospitalization and non-traumatic amputation in our region. At Balance Foot & Ankle, comprehensive diabetic foot care is a core part of our practice — from annual preventive exams and neuropathy screening to active wound management and coordination with vascular surgery for patients with compromised circulation. If you have diabetes, a regular podiatry relationship is one of the most important things you can do to protect your long-term health and mobility.
