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.
Get Relief Fast
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 you’ll leave with a clear diagnosis and a plan.
Meet Your Podiatrist
Board-Certified Podiatrist 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 waited for weeks for an appointment elsewhere, 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 for even 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 an accurate diagnosis matters before any treatment begins.
Many foot and ankle conditions produce similar symptoms. Treating the wrong problem can delay healing and keep pain from improving, which is why an accurate diagnosis always comes first.
What We Treat
From heel pain and bunions to sports injuries and toenail conditions, Dr. Sweeley, DPM, helps 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 receive treatment from 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.

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.
Podiatrists specialize exclusively in 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 specifically, a podiatrist typically brings greater expertise to 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, a podiatric evaluation 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. Visit the Foot Problems page for a complete list.
Patients from Mechanicsburg, Camp Hill, Carlisle, Lemoyne, Enola, New Cumberland, Wormleysburg, Marysville, Harrisburg, and surrounding communities visit Dr. Sweeley for heel pain, bunions, ingrown toenails, sports injuries, diabetic foot care, neuropathy, and a wide range of other foot and ankle conditions.
Specialized foot and ankle care shouldn’t mean a long drive to a large health system campus. Silver Spring Foot and Ankle puts expert podiatric care close to where West Shore patients live and work.
You’ll get a clear diagnosis, a plain-English explanation of what’s going on, and a treatment plan built around your life. Not a referral to someone else. Not a generic protocol. A plan that fits who you are and what you need.
