Running and jogging are excellent forms of exercise, but they subject the body to considerable stress. Each time a runner's foot hits the ground, for example, it generates forces equivalent to at least three times the body's weight. It is important to do everything possible to protect the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back vertebrae.
Achilles tendonitis, also sometimes called Achilles tendinitis, is a painful and often debilitating inflammation of the Achilles tendon (heel cord). The Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body. It is located in the back of the lower leg, attaches to the heel bone (calcaneus), and connects the leg muscles to the foot.
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients with diabetes and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, 6 percent will be hospitalized due to infection or other ulcer-related complication.
Diabetes is the leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in the United States, and approximately 14-24 percent of patients with diabetes who develop a foot ulcer will require an amputation.Foot ulceration precedes 85 percent of diabetes-related amputations. Research has shown, however, that development of a foot ulcer is preventable.

Dr Sedicum is a super knowledgeable physician, a true professional in his trade. He takes the time to explain your condition and treatment options. He has a great bedside manner, is very relatable, and compassionate. He’s available anytime if you have questions and even shared his cell phone to communicate after my appointment. The staff in his office are friendly and caring too. They help you find appointments that work with your schedule. I am bringing my whole family to this practice for our foot care. Highly recommend Dr Sedicum in Quakertown!

Went in barely able to walk without pain and when finished with my appointment I was able to walk out of the office with hardly any pain and in just a few weeks minimal to no pain at all. The nurses made you feel relaxed and answered any question I had.
I suffered for over 2 yrs with pain and I'm so thankful and HAPPY to say now after a 3rd visit I'm able to play with my granddaughters.
Thank you for such great service.

I travel 45 minutes to see Dr. Austin Sedicum for all my foot, ankle, & lower leg concerns. I have had several running injuries, and Dr. Sedicum was quick to not only accurately diagnosis, but treat successfully. He and his staff are extremely professional and kind. I'm feel fortunate to have such a knowledgeable podiatrist. Highly recommend!

Wow! I have seen Dr. Sedicum several times for my own running injuries and have always been impressed. However, the care that he and his staff showed to my 12 year old son (almost 13) was incredible. Dr. Sedicum personally made sure he got in sooner to see him. His staff coordinated with me after office hours and then when I came in to pick up the script for xrays (before office hours) they rescheduled and fit my son in even sooner due to predicted inclement weather. Dr. Sedicum got my son diagnosed and a treatment plan right away. He spent time answering both of our questions and my son is back

Dr. Sedicum and his staff are very friendly yet professional. I had seen a dermatologist for years for a problem on the bottom of my foot. The dermatologist said it was a plantar's wart and sprayed it repeatedly, but it didn't look like one, and the treatment didn't help. I went to Dr. Sedicum for another foot problem, and he diagnosed the "wart" correctly as something else, which he was able to successfully treat. He also has reversed the pain from my plantar fasciitis, and so I was able to stand all day in sandals at my daughter's wedding. He is always able to explain my condition and is willing

I made my wife's appointment weeks ago for 5:30pm. We showed up at 5:15pm and were immediately given MAJOR attitude and blatant disrespect from the receptionists (Amy and someone else that I didn't catch her name). They said "your appointment was at 5pm". We said "it must have been put in wrong because there was no way we would have made an appointment for 5 considering my wife isn't done work until 5". Even so, we were still pretty close to five even if there was some mistake. However, they said "well we will see what we can do because we considered you

I don’t know how anyone could not give this office a 5 star review.What Dr. Sedicum has done for me in the 9 months I have been seeing him is unbelievable. I went in to see him about my right foot which I couldn’t hardly walk on. I had seen 3 Podiatrist’s, a orthopedics and a pain doctor which each one gave me some kind of gimmick (and spent a lot of money on)and told me at the end I’d probably would need surgery. After almost 4 years of horrible pain I was going to give up and do the surgery if Dr Sedicum said it has to be done. I walked into his office and with a warm welcome from his
