Now Accepting Department of Labor (DOL) Workers’ Compensation Patients

At Legacy Foot and Ankle Center, we understand the challenges and needs of individuals who have been injured or are suffering from conditions related to their work. That’s why we are proud to announce that we are now accepting Department of Labor (DOL) patients! Whether you’ve sustained a work-related injury or need ongoing care for a condition that affects your feet, ankles, or lower limbs, our experienced and compassionate team is here to help.

What is Department of Labor (DOL) Coverage?

The Department of Labor (DOL) provides workers’ compensation benefits to individuals who suffer injuries or illnesses while on the job. If you are a DOL patient, it means your treatment, including podiatric care, may be covered under workers’ compensation, so you don’t have to worry about out-of-pocket costs for treatment related to your work injury.

How We Help DOL Patients

Our Podiatry Office specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of foot and ankle conditions, many of which are common among those who work in physically demanding environments. Whether you’ve been injured on the job or suffer from a chronic condition related to your occupation, we offer:

• Comprehensive Evaluations: We begin by performing thorough examinations to assess your symptoms, injury, or condition. Our team will work closely with you to understand the nature of your pain or discomfort, as well as the impact it has on your daily activities.

• Custom Treatment Plans: After evaluating your condition, we develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at promoting healing and alleviating pain. Our podiatric care options may include physical therapy, medication management, custom orthotics, or surgical intervention if necessary.

• Coordinating with Your Workers’ Compensation Claim: Our office is well-versed in dealing with workers’ compensation and DOL cases. We will assist with your claim, ensuring the necessary documentation is submitted and that all treatment is covered under your benefits.

• Experienced Podiatric Care for Work Injuries: Work-related foot and ankle injuries can range from sprains and fractures to repetitive stress injuries like plantar fasciitis or tendonitis. Our team is equipped to handle everything from initial diagnosis to post-surgical rehabilitation.

Types of Conditions We Treat for DOL Patients

Some of the most common work-related conditions we treat include:

• Foot and Ankle Sprains/Strains: Accidents at work can cause trauma to the feet and ankles, often resulting in sprains or strains. We can help you recover and get back on your feet.

• Fractures and Broken Bones: Injuries like fractures from slips, falls, or accidents are common in various work environments. We provide expert care for bone healing and rehabilitation.

• Plantar Fasciitis: This condition, characterized by pain in the heel, can be exacerbated by standing or walking for long periods, making it a common issue for workers on their feet all day.

• Tendonitis and Bursitis: Repetitive motions or prolonged standing can lead to inflammation in the tendons or bursae, causing pain and limiting mobility.

• Diabetic Foot Care: For individuals with diabetes, proper foot care is essential to prevent complications. We offer comprehensive diabetic foot care services to keep you healthy and mobile.

• Work-Related Foot Deformities: Conditions such as bunions, hammertoes, and other foot deformities may arise from prolonged pressure or poor footwear during your work.
