Conditions We Treat for Sterling Heights Patients

Our Sterling Heights-area patients come to us with a many foot and ankle conditions. Among the most common are plantar fasciitis and heel pain, bunions and bunionettes, hammertoes and lesser toe deformities, ingrown toenails (including permanent surgical solutions for recurrent cases), toenail fungus (onychomycosis), ankle sprains and chronic instability, Achilles tendinopathy and rupture, diabetic foot complications and neuropathy monitoring, flat feet and custom orthotic fabrication, and foot pain from arthritis.

Diabetic Foot Care in Sterling Heights and Macomb County

Macomb County has significant rates of type 2 diabetes, reflecting statewide and national trends. For patients with diabetes, foot care is not optional — it is a medical necessity. Peripheral neuropathy reduces the ability to feel pressure, heat, and early wound formation, meaning small cuts or blisters can progress to serious ulcers before the patient notices. At Balance Foot & Ankle, we provide:

• Annual comprehensive diabetic foot exams
• Monofilament sensory testing and vascular assessment
• Diabetic footwear prescriptions
• Wound care and ulcer management
• Coordination with endocrinology and vascular surgery for complex cases

Sterling Heights’ Active Community

Sterling Heights residents enjoy several recreational opportunities — from the Dodge Park running trails to youth sports leagues throughout Macomb County. Our sports podiatry services support runners, soccer and baseball players, basketball athletes, and fitness enthusiasts with injury treatment, biomechanical analysis, and custom orthotics designed for active lifestyles.

Bunion and Hammertoe Surgery

Bunions and hammertoes are among the most common reasons Macomb County residents seek surgical consultation. When conservative measures — wider shoes, padding, orthotics — no longer provide adequate relief, surgical correction offers lasting improvement. We discuss all surgical options including minimally invasive approaches where appropriate, and provide realistic recovery expectations so patients can plan appropriately before surgery.
