Meet Your Podiatrist
Podiatrist Jason Sweeley, DPM
Board-Certified Podiatrist and Foot and Ankle Specialist serving Mechanicsburg and the Harrisburg area, including Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties.
Most patients who come to Silver Spring Foot and Ankle have the same story. They contacted a local podiatrist and waited weeks for an appointment. Then, they spent more time in the waiting room than with the doctor, and left without a clear answer about what was wrong.
Dr. Sweeley built this practice to change that. He trained at Pinnacle Health System in Harrisburg, served as Chief Resident, and left a high-volume practice specifically to spend real time with patients. We’ll schedule your appointment quickly, often as soon as the next day. You’ll get a clear diagnosis and a plain-English explanation of what’s going on. And you’ll leave our office knowing exactly what’s wrong and what comes next.
Silver Spring Foot and Ankle offers advanced treatments such as Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction and Radial Shock Therapy to stimulate healing with chronic foot and ankle conditions, including Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and other soft tissue foot concerns.
Why Patients Come to Us
- Heel pain that won’t go away
- A bunion that keeps getting worse
- An ankle that keeps rolling
- Numbness or tingling in the feet
- A toenail problem that isn’t improving
- A sports injury that won’t heal
Why Does My Foot Hurt?
Foot pain isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a symptom. The same heel pain could be plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, a stress fracture, or a nerve condition. Each requires a completely different treatment approach. That’s why getting an accurate diagnosis from a podiatrist near you matters before starting any treatment for your sore feet.
Many foot and ankle conditions produce similar symptoms. Treating the wrong problem can delay healing, prolong pain, and even make some conditions worse.
What We Treat
Common Foot Problems We Treat at Our Mechanicsburg Office
Up to 87 percent of people experience painful feet at some time in their lives for many different reasons. One-third of older adults have foot pain, stiffness, or aching feet. From heel pain and bunions to sports injuries and toenail conditions, we help patients throughout Cumberland, Dauphin, and Perry Counties get accurate diagnoses and lasting relief.
Condition
Bunions
A bunion is a structural deformity at the base of the big toe that gets worse over time without treatment. We offer conservative care and advanced Lapiplasty 3D correction for lasting relief.
Condition
Ingrown Toenails
A sore toe that keeps getting worse isn’t something to wait out. In-office treatment provides same-day relief and can prevent the problem from coming back.
Condition
Foot Neuropathy
Numbness, tingling, or burning in the feet can signal nerve damage that needs attention from a foot doctor. We identify the cause and help manage symptoms before they lead to bigger problems.
Condition
Achilles Injuries
Heel pain after running that won’t go away is usually an Achilles tendon problem. The earlier you see a podiatrist, the more options you have and the faster you recover.
Condition
Foot Stress Fractures
Foot pain every time you run with no memory of an injury is a common sign of a stress fracture. We diagnose it accurately and get you back to activity safely.
Condition
Plantar Fasciitis
Sharp heel pain with your first steps every morning is the hallmark of plantar fasciitis. It responds well to treatment when the underlying cause is properly addressed.
Local Podiatrist Helping Patients Get Back to Their Lives
Patients don’t come to Silver Spring Foot and Ankle for a diagnosis. They come because foot pain has been getting in the way of their life. Our goal is to get it out of the way.
Patients return to:
- Walking comfortably through a full day
- Running the Capital Area Greenbelt or local trails
- Playing pickleball, golf, or weekend sports
- Hiking with family or friends
- Standing through a full shift at work
- Keeping up with grandchildren
- Wearing the shoes they actually want to wear
If foot problems have been making those things harder, you don’t have to accept that as permanent.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Podiatrist Office
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Sweeley?
No referral is needed. Call directly or request an appointment online. We see most new patients within a few days.
Are you accepting new patients?

How soon can a podiatrist see me?
Most new patients are seen within a few days of calling. Same-day appointments are available when the schedule allows.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any imaging you have, such as X-rays or MRI results. Wear or bring the shoes you typically wear, especially if footwear may be contributing to your symptoms.
Do you accept insurance?
Silver Spring Foot and Ankle accepts most major insurance plans. Contact the office to verify your specific coverage before your appointment.
Will I need surgery?
We can treat most foot and ankle conditions without surgery. Dr. Sweeley takes a conservative-first approach and recommends surgical options only when they are genuinely the most appropriate path forward.
Why choose a podiatrist instead of an orthopedic doctor?
Podiatrists are foot and ankle specialists who focus on conditions affecting the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. That focus means deeper training in the specific conditions, mechanics, and surgical techniques that affect the feet. Orthopedic doctors treat the full musculoskeletal system. For foot and ankle problems, a podiatrist typically brings greater expertise in diagnosis and treatment.
When should I see a podiatrist instead of my primary care doctor?
If your foot pain has persisted for more than a few days, involves numbness, swelling, or a structural change, or is affecting how you walk or stay active, an evaluation by a local podiatrist will give you a more targeted diagnosis and treatment plan than a general practitioner.
What conditions does podiatrist Dr. Sweeley treat?
Dr. Sweeley treats a comprehensive range of foot and ankle conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, bunions, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, fungal toenails, ankle sprains, stress fractures, turf toe, peripheral neuropathy, and diabetic foot complications. Visit the Foot Problems page for a complete list.
