Department of Labor / OWCP
Now Accepting Department of Labor (DOL/OWCP) Worker's Compensation Patients
At Legacy Foot and Ankle Center, we are committed to providing exceptional care for individuals with work-related injuries and conditions. We are pleased to announce that we are now accepting patients under the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP). If you’ve sustained a work injury or have a condition related to your employment, our expert team is here to assist you in your recovery journey.
What is OWCP?
The Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) is part of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and administers workers’ compensation programs for federal employees and workers in certain other industries. OWCP benefits are designed to cover medical expenses and provide financial support for individuals who suffer injuries, illnesses, or disabilities related to their work. As an OWCP-approved provider, we work directly with the OWCP to ensure that the medical services you need are fully covered.
How We Assist OWCP/DOL Worker's Compensation Patients
Our podiatry office is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care to OWCP patients, focusing on your recovery and well-being. Whether your condition stems from a sudden injury or repetitive stress related to your job, we provide comprehensive podiatric care, including:
Thorough Evaluation
We begin by conducting a detailed examination to assess the nature of your injury or condition. Whether you’re experiencing acute pain or ongoing symptoms, our team will take the time to understand your situation and develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Based on your condition, we will develop an individualized treatment plan that may include physical therapy, medication management, custom orthotics, and surgical procedures if needed. We focus on healing and reducing pain to help you return to your daily activities.
Seamless Coordination with OWCP Claims
As experienced providers for OWCP patients, we handle the necessary paperwork and work directly with OWCP to ensure that all treatments are properly documented and covered. Our office will help streamline the process to ensure your care is timely and effective.
Rehabilitation and Recovery
We are committed to helping you through every step of the recovery process, from initial care to long-term rehabilitation. Whether you need conservative treatments or post-surgery care, we’re here to guide you to full recovery.
Common Conditions We Treat for OWCP/DOL Patients
Our team of podiatrists is skilled in diagnosing and treating a variety of foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions that are commonly seen in work-related injuries, including:
Sprains and Strains
Injuries to ligaments and muscles can occur from slips, trips, falls, or heavy lifting at work. We provide expert care to promote healing and relieve pain.
Fractures
Broken bones, especially in the feet or ankles, can result from accidents or falls. We offer fracture management, including casting, bracing, and surgical intervention when necessary.
Plantar Fasciitis
This painful condition, which causes heel pain, can be exacerbated by long hours of standing or walking. We offer conservative treatments and interventions to relieve pain and improve function.
Tendonitis and Bursitis
Repetitive movements or prolonged standing can lead to inflammation in the tendons or bursae, causing pain and swelling. We provide effective treatments to alleviate these symptoms and promote healing.
Chronic Foot Deformities
Bunions, hammertoes, and other deformities may develop or worsen due to pressure or improper footwear at work. We offer both surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
Diabetic Foot Care
If you are a diabetic worker, maintaining healthy feet is essential. We provide comprehensive diabetic foot care to prevent complications such as ulcers, infections, and neuropathy.
