About Our Practice

Our main office is stationary and located in Shippensburg, but we are also capable of providing mobile services. If you are in need of a house call appointment please call to see if that is an option in your area.

The office is equipped with all your podiatric needs including a state of the art x-ray machine, Shockwave, Pulse Machine, and MLS laser. We also have the ability to perform minimally invasive surgery.

What makes us unique?

We provide functional & holistic care with our goal of treating the root cause of your foot pain or deformity. We do not cover up symptoms with medications. In fact, we look at prescription medications as a last resort. The feet are connected to the rest of your body, so if you have chronic inflammation in your entire body and we only focus on your foot issues we are doing you a disservice. By healing the body from within, chronic foot pain tends to resolve itself.  We provide many services that are not available anywhere else in this region. These unique treatments are typically not offered by large hospitals and health networks because insurance companies do not reimburse for them (things like amniotic stem cell injections, injections for nerve pain, permanent removal of corns, laser treatment for fungal toenails, non-surgical repair of ingrown toenails, toenail reconstruction).  If you do need surgery, we offer many forms of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) that can often times be done in the office. 

It is of utmost priority that we provide care to the community as a whole and help as many people as possible. In order to accomplish this we have a variety of affordable package programs that patients can choose from in order to seek treatment but yet still stay in line with their financial needs. 

 

Restoring your foot health so you can stay on the move.

Meet Dr. Stouder

Dr. Melody Stouder is board certified in foot, rearfoot, and ankle surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery. Dr. Stouder was raised in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania and went on to obtain her Bachelor of Science degree from Shippensburg University in 2010. She then graduated as salutatorian from Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine in 2014. She completed her reconstructive foot and ankle surgical residency at St. Luke’s University Health Network in Allentown, PA. 

She has received extensive training in wound care, limb salvage, diabetic foot care, biomechanics, treatment of foot and ankle injuries and pain, as well as surgery of the foot and ankle. Surgical procedures include : treatment of joint arthritis, tendon and ligament repairs, correction of flat foot, bunions, hammertoes, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis. Some of these procedures can be performed with minimal incisions.

She returned to southcentral PA in 2017 to treat patients in her hometown and be close to her family.  After experiencing close loved ones fall very ill, it didn’t take long for her to see that the current medical system was failing her family.  She developed a passion for helping them which sent her down the path of natural, holistic, and functional medicine.  Dr. Stouder is now a certified Lyme Specialist and loves being a part of a patient’s healing journey. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband and two sons.

New patients

Welcome to On the Move Podiatry!  At your first visit we ask that you bring the following if necessary: list of current medications, name of primary care physician or referring physician, any previous tests or imaging that are relevant (such as labs, x-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, nerve conduction study). Please place images on a disc and bring the report if possible. Also, any previous orthotics that have been prescribed or any sneakers you want to be evaluated. 

Why a direct care practice? Why self pay?

We do not accept insurance which allows us to provide high quality care. We are not restricted by the harsh rules and regulations that third party insurance companies place on physicians. It allows us to focus on you as an individual and spend more time with you. No need to rush you in and rush you out. You see the same provider at every appointment. There are no insurance referrals, copays, deductibles, or prior authorizations needed. No surprise bills, and pricing is made very clear upfront. We are able to offer a discounted price on these services because we do not have the costs associated with coding compliance, filing insurance claims, pre-authorizations, and reimbursement delays. 

 

Payment options:

Payment is due the day services are rendered. Payment plans can be set up prior to surgery as well. 

We accept cash, check, debit card, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. 

For our Medicare patients: Our practice has opted out from Medicare in order to cut off ties with the strict rules and regulations they have set forth which interfere with the doctor-patient relationship. Since we do not accept Medicare it is required by federal law that you(as a medicare patient) sign a private contract with us stating that you are responsible for the full amount of the bill. This opt out status does not interfere in anyway with other relationships you may have with other doctors and health facilities.
