General Info

Dr. Catherine Halinski has been a practicing Podiatric Physician for over 20 years in Buffalo Grove and Arlington Heights IL. She received her BS and DPM from Wm. M. Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine. Dr. Halinski’s did her residency here in our wonderful city of Chicago. After residency, she started her practice in 1996 in a multi-specialty group, less than a mile from her childhood home in an effort to give back to the community where she was raised. Being exposed to a variety of diverse medical influences early in her career, helped her to become the doctor she is today. Interestingly, Dr. Halinski’s medical career began with a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Northern Illinois University, which she put to use as a published medical illustrator. This passion for drawing and then medicine was due to her collaboration with Dr. Weil, Sr. whose amazing work in the field inspired Dr. Halinski to pursue her interest in Podiatry as a doctor. After more than two decades in private practice, Dr. Halinski feels blessed and privileged to be a member of Weil Foot & Ankle Institute’s talented group of doctors. Dr. Halinski relies upon her alternative and holistic training to find solutions for her patients’ foot and ankle problems by treating the body as a whole. She is especially inspired by the Myofascial Release (MFR) training which works as a soft tissue therapy; for pain relief, increasing range of motion, and balancing the whole body. Dr. Halinski firmly believes in the doctor’s creed, ‘do no harm’ and that people need to explore all conservative methods before surgery is done. Scar tissue from surgery and injury, even repetitive stresses, can sometimes cause more harm by limiting range of motion and cause pain not only to the foot but other areas of the body. Patients come to Arlington Heights, IL, podiatrist, Dr. Halinski seeking a second opinion instead of surgery or after other surgeries have failed them.
