Podiatry

McLean County Orthopedics is proud of it's podiatry division that  is dedicated to the elimination of foot pain and to providing the highest quality care for disorders of the ankle, heel and foot.   Our podiatrists, Dr. Brian Hamm DPM, FACFAS and Dr. Gerald Paul DPM, FACFAS are highly respected in the medical community in Bloomington and throughout Central Illinois and each has over ten years experience in private practice.

Foot pain is very common and can be particularly debilitating. A number of structural deformities or inflammatory conditions can lead to foot pain, including arthritis, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, pes planus, hallux valgus, neuroma, diabetic neuropathy, bunions, and trauma. MCO uses the lastest minimally invasive treatments such as extra-corporeal shock wave therapy (orthotripsy), arthroscopic surgery, therapy, orthotics, minor procedures, and more traditional surgeries if needed. We believe that we have two of the finest podiatric foot surgeons in Illinois.

4. Office Procedures - Cortisone injections & minor procedures can be performed in our office procedure rooms.
