Meet Dr. Michelle Sparks
Report
Dr. Sparks is originally from Wilmington, DE and moved to Pittsburgh after high school to pursue a degree in physical therapy from Duquesne University. She gained valuable clinical experience by working as a PT aide for several years while in school.
The experience of working in a physical therapy clinic has molded how Dr. Sparks treats her patients today; she is a big proponent of treating biomechanics and how the lower extremity works as a unit during gait.She became interested in podiatry after having her own experience as a patient of a local podiatrist in Delaware during a summer break from college.
