Airport Workers' Comp Care
Baggage handlers, ramp agents, flight attendants, and ground crew face physical demands few other workers experience. When an on-the-job injury happens, you need a clinical team that understands both the work and the workers' compensation process.
What is Airport Workers' Comp Care?
VeriSpine Joint Centers provides specialized workers' compensation care for employees of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and the airlines, ground services, and contractors who operate there.

Conditions treated
- Back strains and herniated discs from lifting
- Shoulder and rotator cuff injuries
- Knee injuries from ramps and stairs
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Slip, trip, and fall injuries
- Injuries from being struck by equipment or vehicles
The VeriSpine difference
Local to Hartsfield-Jackson
Our Hapeville location is minutes from the airport — convenient for follow-ups around shift work and light-duty schedules.
Workers' comp documentation
We handle the medical reports, work status notes, and authorizations your claim and your employer require.
Non-surgical first
Most workplace injuries resolve without surgery through targeted injections, physical therapy, and regenerative care.
Return-to-work focused
Our goal is restoring your function so you can return to full duty safely — not just patching symptoms.
The treatment process
Initial evaluation
We document the mechanism of injury, perform a physical exam, order imaging if indicated, and establish the workers' comp medical record.
Authorization and treatment
We coordinate with your employer's workers' comp insurer for treatment authorization and begin care — injections, PT, regenerative therapy, or a combination.
Work status updates
At each visit you receive an updated work status note: full duty, light duty with restrictions, or temporary disability.
Return to full duty
We follow you through full recovery and document your release back to regular duty when you are ready.

Book Free ConsultationCan I choose VeriSpine for my workers' comp care?
In Georgia, employees can typically select their treating physician from their employer's posted panel of physicians, or in some cases select their own physician depending on the employer's panel compliance. Contact us and we will help you understand your options.
What if my employer is delaying authorization?
Our team works directly with workers' comp insurers to push authorizations through. If your claim is being denied or delayed, we can also coordinate with workers' comp attorneys who specialize in airport and aviation cases.
Are TSA, airline, and contractor employees all eligible?
TSA federal employees fall under federal workers' compensation (OWCP) — see our federal workers' comp service. Airline employees, ground service contractors, and most other airport workers fall under Georgia state workers' comp. We handle both.
How quickly can I be seen?
New workers' comp patients are typically seen within a few days of authorization. For acute injuries with active claim authorization, we accommodate same-week appointments.
