These areas are presented as core treatment categories on the site, alongside the specialty services below.

Beyond body areas, the center lists these orthopaedic specialties and service lines:
| Service | What it covers, per the site |
|---|---|
| Hip and knee reconstruction | Joint reconstruction care |
| Sports medicine | Care for athletic injuries and conditions |
| Podiatry | Foot and ankle care |

Walk-In Care for Immediate Needs
For broken bones, sprains, strains and other immediate needs, the center offers Midwest Ortho First Walk-in Clinic at its Peoria location only. The site lists temporary summer hours of Monday–Friday 9am to 5pm and Saturday–Sunday 9am to noon in Peoria, and describes the clinic as open 7 days a week and staffed by doctors. This is an alternative the center positions as a way to skip the ER and urgent care for certain orthopaedic injuries.
Surgical Care
Surgery takes place at Midwest Orthopaedic Hospital at Carle Health Proctor Hospital, which the site describes as an advanced surgical facility within the Carle Health network, with a team of surgeons and specialists focused on recovery.
How to Use This to Find Your Direction
- Identify the body area involved — for example, knee, shoulder or hand and wrist.
- Match it to a specialty if your need is more specific, such as sports medicine for an athletic injury, pediatric orthopaedics for a child, or podiatry for a foot issue.
- For a suspected fracture, sprain or strain that needs prompt attention, consider the Peoria walk-in clinic during its listed hours.
- For ongoing or surgical care, plan a visit by appointment and expect in-house imaging as part of the process.
The site also notes that the center welcomes Emily Wichern, MD, who specializes in adult and pediatric spine surgery, and that it is hiring advanced practice nurses, physician assistants, nurses and therapists.
