Serving Ypsilanti and Washtenaw County Patients

Residents of Ypsilanti, Ypsilanti Township, Superior Township, Pittsfield Township, Saline, and communities throughout Washtenaw County have access to expert podiatric care at Balance Foot & Ankle. Our Howell location is conveniently accessible from the Ypsilanti area via US-23, and our Bloomfield Township location offers an alternative option for eastern Washtenaw County residents.

Our board-certified podiatrists provide comprehensive foot and ankle care — from the most routine conditions to complex surgical cases — delivered with the personal attention and clinical thoroughness our patients have come to rely on.

Comprehensive Foot Care for the Ann Arbor Metro Area

The Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti area is home to a diverse, active community — university students, athletes, healthcare workers, and professionals who demand effective, evidence-based medical care. We meet that standard with up-to-date treatment protocols, advanced diagnostic imaging, and a commitment to honest communication about diagnosis and treatment options.

We treat the full spectrum of foot and ankle conditions: plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, toenail fungus, neuromas, ankle sprains, Achilles tendon problems, flat feet, stress fractures, and diabetic foot complications, among many others.

University Community and Student-Athlete Foot Care

The large student and athlete population in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti area means we frequently treat young adults with sports-related foot and ankle injuries. We understand the need for accurate, rapid diagnosis and return-to-sport planning that accommodates academic and athletic schedules. We work efficiently to get young athletes back in action while ensuring injuries heal properly.

Diabetic Foot Management

Proper foot care is an essential component of diabetes management. Our comprehensive diabetic foot program includes annual neuropathy screening, vascular assessment, ulcer prevention, wound care, and diabetic footwear recommendations. We coordinate with endocrinology and primary care providers throughout the Washtenaw County area to deliver integrated diabetes care.

Custom Orthotics and Biomechanical Assessment

Many Washtenaw County patients come to us specifically for custom orthotic evaluation and fabrication. We perform detailed gait analysis and biomechanical assessment, take digital foot scans, and design orthotics engineered for your specific foot type, activity level, and footwear preferences. Custom orthotics from our practice have helped hundreds of southeastern Michigan patients achieve lasting relief from foot and ankle pain.
