OWCP Doctors for TSA Officers, Screeners & Federal Air Marshals
TSA officers move thousands of bags a shift. We treat the back, shoulder, and wrist injuries that come from heavy lifting, repetitive scanning motions, and standing on hard floors for 8+ hours. We also treat slip/falls on jet bridges and assault injuries during enforcement actions.
Common TSA Work Injuries We Treat
- ▸Lower-back herniated disc from lifting checked baggage
- ▸Shoulder impingement and rotator cuff tears
- ▸Wrist tendonitis and carpal tunnel from repetitive scanning
- ▸Plantar fasciitis and heel pain from extended standing
- ▸Slip/falls on wet floors and jet bridges
- ▸Assault injuries from non-compliant passengers
Filing Challenges Specific to TSA
TSA's PASS (Performance Accountability and Standards System) makes some officers reluctant to file. Filing protects your job — it doesn't put it at risk. We explain the process so you can file with confidence.
Why owcpdocs for TSA Cases
Our team understands TSA-specific injury patterns and the documentation OWCP wants for repetitive-motion claims, which are often denied without proper imaging and EMG support.
What to Do If You're Injured on the Job
- Report the injury to your supervisor immediately and in writing.
- Request a CA-1 (traumatic injury) or CA-2 (occupational disease) form.
- Get treated by an OWCP credentialed doctor — that's us.
- Keep copies of every form, every visit, every report.
- Don't use sick leave when FECA covers your time off work.
