Get Relief from Foot and Ankle Pain in Commerce Twp, MI
No pain is good pain. But if you’re an athlete, an active person, or always on your feet, you’re likely to deal with foot, heel, or ankle pain at some point. Whether it’s caused by an injury or an ongoing issue with your body’s unique biomechanics, this pain can seriously disrupt your way of life.
The good news is you don’t have to keep suffering from uncomfortable or painful conditions. Instead, get expert advice and comprehensive care from the podiatrists at Lakes Foot & Ankle Associates!
Common Foot & Ankle Conditions We Treat
Our practice provides comprehensive care through both advanced and “tried and true” treatment options. Our ultimate goal is both to relieve symptoms and fix the root cause of the problem.
Sports Injuries
As active athletes themselves, our doctors know how important it is to get back to your favorite activities as quickly as possible. We have advanced techniques to treat ankle sprains, shin splints, turf toe, and much more.
Heel Pain
Our feet handle a lot of pressure every day. That’s why heel pain affects people from all walks of life. From plantar fasciitis to heel spurs and beyond, we can help you get rid of heel pain for good.
Tendon Pathology & Injury
Your feet and ankles contain multiple tendons: bands of tissue that connect muscles to bones. Let us help you recover from Achilles tendinitis, tendon tears and ruptures, and other tendon problems.
Nerve Pathology
Nerve problems in the feet can cause a range of symptoms, from painful tingling to numbness to feeling like you’re walking on a rock. Our team is well-versed in handling nerve pathologies, including neuritis and neuroma, tarsal tunnel syndrome, and peripheral neuropathy.
Skin & Nail Conditions
Issues like ingrown toenails, fungal nails, and athlete’s foot may feel embarrassing. But you deserve to have healthy, pain-free feet! Let our team treat these stubborn conditions with clinically proven methods.
Toe Deformities
When your toes function normally and pain-free, it’s easy to take them for granted. But bunions, hammertoes, claw toes, mallet toes, and other toe deformities can quickly lead to pain and complications. Get back to life as usual with a comprehensive treatment plan!
Diabetic Foot Care
If you have diabetes, your feet are at risk of serious problems. Annual podiatric care should be a regular part of your routine! Let our podiatrists keep your feet healthy and be a meaningful part of your care team.
