Comprehensive Services Offered
At Legacy Foot & Ankle, we go beyond surface-level care. We offer a full range of podiatric services to treat everything from routine ailments to complex conditions. By combining expert knowledge with personalized treatment plans, we ensure each patient receives the right care at the right time.
General Treatments
From corns and calluses to nail disorders and athlete’s foot, we provide general foot care that forms the backbone of our services. These treatments are essential not just for comfort but also for long-term health. Many patients are surprised by how much better they feel after addressing seemingly minor issues, especially those that affect daily mobility. By scheduling regular checkups, we can catch and correct issues before they develop into painful, costly conditions.
Healthy feet are the foundation for a healthy life—and our general treatments lay that foundation with skill and consistency.
Specialized Services
We specialize in care for patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, arthritis, and neuropathy. Diabetic foot care is especially important, and we offer routine foot exams, vascular assessments, wound care, and education on daily foot hygiene. These services help reduce the risk of serious complications like infections or amputations.
We also provide treatment for athletic injuries and pediatric concerns, which require specialized attention and experience. Whether your child has flat feet or you're dealing with a sports injury like a stress fracture or tendonitis, our team delivers targeted, evidence-based care to support recovery and prevent recurrence.
Advanced Diagnostics
Our practice is equipped with cutting-edge diagnostic technology to quickly and accurately identify the root cause of foot pain or dysfunction. Digital X-rays, high-frequency ultrasound, and vascular testing tools give us a clear view of what’s happening beneath the surface—allowing us to start treatment with confidence and precision.
This advanced diagnostic approach enables us to monitor healing, adjust treatment plans in real time, and avoid unnecessary procedures. Our goal is to provide the most effective, targeted care possible. That’s why patients throughout Lapeer and surrounding areas trust Legacy Foot & Ankle when clarity and results matter most.
Foot Conditions We Treat
At Legacy Foot & Ankle, we treat a wide range of conditions affecting patients of all ages and lifestyles. Below are a few common conditions we regularly manage:
Plantar Fasciitis
This painful heel condition is one of the most common complaints we treat. Our clinic offers both conservative treatments, such as stretching, orthotics, and shockwave therapy, as well as more advanced interventions for chronic cases.
Bunions
A bunion is more than just a cosmetic concern—it can affect balance, gait, and long-term mobility. We provide customized bunion management plans, including orthotics, splints, or surgery, depending on the severity.
Heel Spurs
Often linked to plantar fasciitis, heel spurs are bony outgrowths that cause significant heel pain. We diagnose these with imaging and offer relief through anti-inflammatory therapies and cushioning techniques.
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can be painful and lead to infection. We offer gentle, effective in-office procedures that provide almost immediate relief, along with education on proper foot care to prevent recurrence.
Achilles Tendonitis
Common among runners and active individuals, Achilles tendonitis results from overuse or tight calf muscles. We use non-invasive treatments, including physical therapy, orthotics, and regenerative medicine, to promote healing.
Orthotics and Surgical Solutions
Some foot issues require more than just rest or routine care. At Legacy Foot & Ankle, we offer custom orthotics—devices tailored to the shape and function of your feet. These are not generic inserts but are biomechanically engineered to align your posture, support your arches, and reduce pressure points. Patients frequently report significant improvements in pain and mobility after using custom orthotics.
When necessary, our team also provides surgical interventions. Whether you're facing bunion correction, tendon repair, or ankle reconstruction, our surgical expertise ensures you're in capable hands. We emphasize minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to reduce downtime and speed up recovery.
