Chiropractic Care for Federal Workplace Injuries
Chiropractic care may be an important part of recovery for certain work-related musculoskeletal conditions. FECA recognizes chiropractors within its definition of a physician, although reimbursable chiropractic services under FECA are subject to federal program requirements.
Our team will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your condition and recovery needs. Depending on your situation, your care may include chiropractic treatment and other appropriate therapies.
FECA Eligibility
FECA provides workers’ compensation coverage for eligible federal employees who sustain an injury or illness related to their federal employment. The program is administered by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP).
Federal employees across a wide range of agencies and departments may be covered. If you’re unsure whether your workplace injury qualifies, our team can discuss your situation and help you understand the next steps.
Injured at Work? Get Started With Your Care
If you have suffered a federal workplace injury, it’s important to seek appropriate medical attention and report your injury through the required process.
Under FECA, federal employees generally have the right to choose their initial treating physician. For an established claim, OWCP provides processes for medical treatment and claim management.
FECA claims are subject to filing requirements and time limits. The U.S. Department of Labor states that an original claim for compensation generally must be filed within 3 years of the injury or death, subject to the rules and exceptions provided under FECA.
Don’t let an untreated workplace injury interfere with your health, mobility, or ability to work. Island Health & Chiropractic is here to provide professional chiropractic care and support throughout your recovery.
