A Department of Transportation, or DOT physical exam is a required medical evaluation for commercial drivers who operate certain vehicles for work. This exam helps ensure that drivers are physically and mentally capable of safely performing their duties on the road. Our chiropractic office is certified to provide DOT exams in a professional, efficient, and respectful setting.

During the exam, a certified medical examiner reviews your medical history and performs a comprehensive health assessment. This includes checking vision, hearing, blood pressure, heart and lung function, neurological health, and overall physical fitness. A urine test is also performed to screen for underlying medical concerns that could affect safe driving. The goal is not to disqualify drivers unnecessarily, but to confirm that health conditions are well managed and do not pose a risk to public safety.

We understand that commercial drivers have demanding schedules, so our process is designed to be straightforward and timely. Our team explains each step of the exam in clear, simple language and answers questions along the way. If a medical condition requires follow-up or documentation from another provider, we will guide you through what is needed so there are no surprises.

Once the exam is complete and all requirements are met, qualified drivers receive their Department of Transportation medical certificate. Certification length depends on individual health factors and federal guidelines. Our office stays current with DOT regulations to ensure every exam meets required standards.

Whether you are renewing your certification or completing your first Department of Transportation physical exam, we aim to make the experience calm, professional, and efficient. Contact our office to schedule your appointment and keep your certification current with confidence.
