When your feet hurt, your whole body compensates. Your gait changes. Your knees, hips, and back absorb the extra strain. Left untreated, a manageable foot problem can become a much bigger one.
Dr. Jason Sweeley, DPM, helps patients throughout Mechanicsburg, Harrisburg, and the West Shore get a clear diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan before that happens.

You waited weeks somewhere else. You won’t have to wait weeks here. At Silver Spring Foot and Ankle, same-day and next-day appointments are often available. You’ll see Dr. Sweeley, a board-certified podiatrist and foot and ankle specialist. You’ll leave with a clear diagnosis and treatment plan.
Meet Your Podiatrist
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
