What To Know Before Your DOT Physical

CMV drivers face unique physical challenges which need care and attention. Not only are you required by the DOT to pass a DOT physical, but you also need to be in good health to maintain your quality of life. Spending hours behind the wheel for work can take a toll on your body. At Johnson Chiropractic and DOT Center in Reno, NV, we specialize in helping DOT workers get the physicals they need for employment as well as the chiropractic care they need to stay active and healthy. Keep reading to learn what you need to know before your DOT physical.

Physicals Are Necessary

You should know that getting a DOT physical is not optional. It is imperative that you are cleared physically to perform the work of a CMV driver. This type of work requires that you have a healthy spine and that you do not experience any unmanageable pain.

If it is determined during your physical that you are experiencing back or neck issues, our chiropractor can discuss treatment options with you that could help you stay healthy and employed.

Focus on Your Health Rather Than Your Paperwork

For many CMV drivers a DOT physical just a technicality, a paper that needs to be signed so they can return to work. We understand and want to help you both complete your compliance paperwork and improve your health. Chiropractic care can be a great way to stay on top of your spine health as a commercial driver.

The hours you spend driving can start to damage your spine, neck, and back muscles over time. Regular chiropractic care can help combat this so that you can continue doing the work you love for years to come.
