DOT Physicals

A DOT physical, performed by a certified chiropractor, is a crucial examination required by the U.S. Department of Transportation for commercial driver's license applicants and renewals. This comprehensive assessment evaluates an individual's medical fitness to operate commercial vehicles safely. It includes a review of medical history, vital signs, vision, hearing, and musculoskeletal health, with special attention to the spine and joints. Drug and alcohol testing, as mandated, may also be conducted. Upon successful completion, the chiropractor issues a Medical Examiner's Certificate, enabling the driver to obtain or renew their CDL, ensuring they meet the necessary health standards for safe road travel.
