Warts
Arthritis
Arthritis is a term that is commonly used to describe joint pain.Â The condition itself can occur to anyone of any age, race, or gender, and there are over 100 types of it.Â Nevertheless, arthritis is more commonly found in women compared to men, and it is also more prevalent in those who are overweight. The causes of arthritis vary depending on which type of arthritis you have. Osteoarthritis for example, is often caused by injury, while rheumatoid arthritis is caused by a misdirected immune system.
Plantar Fasciitis
Because plantar fasciitis is known to worsen over time, it’s recommended that you meet with a podiatrist as soon as possible for a proper diagnosis and advised treatment plan.
Cryotherapy
If you have plantar warts, your podiatrist may try different treatment methods depending on your specific case. Some treatments for plantar warts are peeling medicines (salicylic acid), freezing medicines (cryotherapy), or surgical procedures. Laser treatments and vaccines are also used to treat plantar warts.
Diabetic Foot Care
Westland Foot & Ankle Specialists, P.C. is available to treat foot and ankle ailments such as diabetic foot care, ingrown toenails, fungal toenails, warts and painful calluses. Our practice specializes in general foot care.

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care

Ultrasound
Good circulation in the foot indicates good circulation in the rest of the body. Bad circulation in the foot indicates bad circulation elsewhere including the heart. We are able to give a good determination of blood flow in the foot and toes. This baseline with Doppler ultrasound can be limb saving, to life saving especially in diabetics. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is not to be ignored.
X-Rays

Arthroscopy
Prior to joining the practice in 2011, she returned to Michigan to complete a three year surgical residency at St. John Hospital and Medical Center that provided extensive training in reconstructive procedures, ankle arthroscopy and trauma. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, camping and most activities that involves being outdoors.
Ankle Surgery
When it comes to receiving foot and ankle surgery, it’s typically a case by case situation. Some factors that play a role in whether or not you need surgery include the severity of your symptoms as well as your response to other conservative, noninvasive treatment methods.
Bunion Surgery
The recovery time for bunion surgery varies depending on the patient's age, medical status and the procedure chosen to correct the condition but generally is six weeks.
Joint Replacement
Arthralgia and arthritis are terms often used interchangeably, but they describe distinct conditions related to joint health that can affect the feet. Arthritis belongs to a group of inflammatory joint conditions in the foot, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and gout. On the other hand, arthralgia is a medical term for foot joint pain, which can arise from various causes including injury, infection, or overuse. While arthralgia is a symptom frequently experienced by individuals with foot arthritis, not all joint pain is a result of arthritic inflammation. Arthritis can lead to severe complications, affecting mobility and overall quality of life. In contrast, arthralgia's complications are typically related to the underlying cause of joint pain. Identifying the root cause is crucial for effective management and treatment. Both medical and home treatments can help alleviate foot joint pain. Exercising, resting, stretching, and pain relievers can provide relief. In more severe cases, medical interventions like disease-modifying drugs, biological drugs, or joint replacement surgery may be necessary. If you are suffering from foot pain of any type that is not responding to home treatment, it is suggested that you make an appointment with a podiatrist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Bunions
Reasons that a person may develop a bunion can vary. Some patients may form bunions due to genetic factors, complications with arthritis, or a weak foot structure. General aging can also play a role in the formation of a bunion.
Arthroscopy
Ingrown Toenails
Ingrown toenails can form when the side of a toenail begins to grow into the flesh surrounding the nail. As a result, the affected toe—most commonly the big toe—may become red, swollen, painful, and—in severe cases—infected.

Skin Cancer
The incidence of skin cancer in the foot has skyrocketed over the past 10 years. Pigmented lesions, even if present your entire life can become cancerous. The lesions can be biopsied in the office under a local anesthetic. Even rashes or other skin conditions can be better diagnosed with a simple punch biopsy. Please ask for further information or evaluation.
Corns
Corns and calluses are hard layers of skin that usually form due to friction. Generally, they will be in areas of the foot that are bearing weight, or areas that frequently rub against the shoe. Soft corns are typically found between the toes.
Calluses
Common heel pain conditions include heel spurs and heel fractures. Morton’s neuroma is a condition that often comes with pain experienced at the ball of the foot, as well as sesamoiditis. Those suffering from discomfort in their arches may have flat feet or plantar fasciitis. Common issues that affect the toes include gout, bunions, blisters, corns and calluses, as well as hammertoe and ingrown toenail. An ankle sprains is also a common ailment that can lead to foot pain.
Fungus
The area of the toes is generally warm and damp, unfortunately making it a great area for fungus to grow. If left untreated, the fungal infection can spread, which is why it’s so important to get professional help early on and look into your treatment options.
Lesions
If you suspect you have plantar warts, you may have the following symptoms: pain or tenderness while walking, a lesion that interrupts the ridges in the skin of your foot, small fleshy lesions on the bottom of the foot, or a callus where a wart has grown inward over a well-defined spot on the skin.

Sports Medicine
After obtaining his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine from Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine, Dr. Wiska returned to metro-Detroit for his surgical residency at Beaumont where he received extensive training in trauma of the foot and ankle, sports medicine, charcot limb salvage, flatfoot reconstruction, and foot and ankle reconstruction. While specializing in these areas, he enjoys treating all ailments of the foot and ankle. He is Board Certified by the American Board of Podiatric Medicine.
Flatfoot Correction
Heel Pain
Ankle Sprain
Ankle sprains, those unexpected and often painful disruptions, can leave us hobbling while attempting to complete daily activities. These occur when the ligaments connecting the ankle bones get stretched or torn due to sudden twists or turns. Participating in sports activities, walking on uneven surfaces, and wearing ill-fitting footwear can contribute to these mishaps. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Early intervention is crucial for effective recovery. Rest, compression, and elevation are initial steps that can help to reduce pain and swelling. Gentle exercises, prescribed by a podiatrist, can aid in restoring strength and flexibility. In severe cases, immobilization with a brace or cast may be necessary. Ensuring proper care and treatment fosters a smooth healing journey, allowing individuals to step back into their routine with renewed confidence. If you have endured an ankle sprain, it is suggested that you speak with a podiatrist who can guide you toward the correct treatment.

General Podiatry
To ensure your convenience, below is the information you need about our podiatry office, including our hours, location, appointment scheduling and insurance acceptance.
Achilles Tendonitis
There are many different causes of heel pain, including strains or sprains, tarsal tunnel syndrome, stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, and heel bursitis. One of the most common causes of heel pain for children and teenagers specifically is Sever’s disease. Sever’s disease can develop due to overuse or repetitive microtrauma of the heel bone's growth plates. This condition is often seen among those who are active in sporting activities.
Ankle Sprain
Some sports may be considered more dangerous in terms of foot and ankle injuries compared to others. These sports may include basketball, running, football, soccer, and dancing. Sports that require tightly worn shoes as well as have a particular focus on jumping typically run a higher risk of injury. Because the feet are considered the foundation of the body, help us stay balanced, and enable us to perform our everyday activities, professional help should be sought at the first instinct of something gone wrong.

Bunions Problems
A bunion is a bony, painful swelling that is often formed on the first joint of the big toe. Bunions can be extremely painful due to the weight of all your body resting on it each time you take a step. Everyday activities, such as walking and wearing shoes, can cause you extreme discomfort if you have a bunion.
Calluses
Diabetic Foot Care
Our team of highly qualified podiatrists specializes in the treatment of ingrown toenails, diabetic foot care, heel pain, hammertoes, and much more. Our office is equipped to handle anything from fungal nails to foot and ankle fractures. We provide in-office digital x-rays, which increase efficiency and make the entire process simpler and faster than ever before. We now offer Lapiplasty bunion surgery which corrects all 3 dimensions of your bunion.
Flat Feet
Fungus Toenails
Fungal infections occur due to fungus getting through the cracks of the toes or cuts in your skin. Common signs that you may have a fungal infection include thicker than normal toenails, oddly shaped toenails, discoloration, a yellowish hue to the nail, and separation of the nail and nail bed. Fungal infections can affect anyone but are most common among men, those with diabetes or athlete’s foot, and smokers. The risk of having toenail fungus also increases as you age, if another family member has it, and if you have a weaker immune system.
Hammertoes
Hammertoe is a characterized by one or more of the toes having a bend in the middle joint. This occurs because of weakening of the muscle due to poorly fitted shoes or a genetically inherited trait.
Heel Spurs
A heel spur is a bony protrusion that occurs on the heel. It is often confused with plantar fasciitis, which is inflammation of the plantar fascia ligament. When a heel spur is painful it can make it quite difficult to walk.
Heel Pain
Foot Pain
Ingrown Toenails
Treatment for an ingrown toenail will vary on a case by case basis. One form of treatment requires lifting the ingrown nail and placing a splint or piece of cotton underneath. Another method for a more severe case would involve partially removing the nail. For cases that need extreme care, the nail itself and tissue would have to be removed.
Foot Neuroma
Foot Orthotics
Orthotics are custom insoles made from an actual mold of your feet. This ensures the fit perfectly and provides the support, stability and alignment necessary to eliminate pain and discomfort of many common foot abnormalities.
Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis affects the plantar regions of the foot, namely the heel, arch, and midfoot. When too much stress is put on the plantar fascia, or the connective tissue that stretches from the heel to the ball of your foot, inflammation, overtightening, and tearing may arise. This can cause foot pain. Because of plantar fasciitis, you may experience tearing with the first steps you take in the morning each day.
Podiatric Deformities
Some factors that contribute to the formation of Morton’s neuroma include wearing high heels or ill-fitting shoes that put extra pressure on your toes or the balls of your feet. There has also been a tie to the development of Morton’s neuroma and certain high-impact sporting activities. Activities you may want to avoid from participating in too frequently include both jogging and running. Too much repetitive trauma can cause a strain on the feet and increase the chances of developing a foot complication. Other sports that require the use of tightly worn shoes, such as skiing or rock climbing, may also increase your chances of getting Morton’s neuroma. Certain foot deformities can also lead to the development of Morton’s neuroma. Some of these deformities that increase the likelihood of getting this condition include bunions, hammertoes, and flat feet.
