Conditions We Treat
OWCP Treatment for Federal Workers' Arm & Leg Injuries
Arm and leg pain often signals nerve-root compression, peripheral nerve injury, or muscle strain. Federal workers in physically demanding jobs — letter carriers, mechanics, BOP officers — see this pattern routinely.
Common Causes in Federal Workers
- ▸Cervical or lumbar radiculopathy (nerve-root pinch)
- ▸Carpal tunnel and cubital tunnel syndromes
- ▸Tendinopathy (golfer's/tennis elbow)
- ▸Peripheral neuropathy from repetitive use
- ▸Muscle strain and overuse injuries
How We Treat It
EMG/NCV studies for nerve diagnosis, targeted PT, manual therapy, and pain management. Carpal tunnel cases may need ergonomic modification or surgical referral.
Recovery Timeline
Mild radiculopathy and tendinopathy often resolve with 6–10 weeks of treatment. Nerve injuries with significant compression sometimes require longer or specialty intervention.
