Visit A Nashville Chiropractic Office For A DOT Physical

By Melisa Carlucci


The Department of Transportation requires certain large commercial vehicle operators to obtain a medical certificate before climbing in the driver's seat. This is true if the operator is driving across state boundaries in a vehicle over a certain weight and carrying a certain number of passengers. Medical certificates are also required for operators carrying hazardous material. One place to get a DOT physical is at a local Nashville chiropractic office.

Seeing a chiropractor for your physical can be the beginning of a beneficial relationship. Driving long distances can cause pain in the back, neck, and shoulders. Chiropractors have many different methods of relieving pain and since these techniques are all natural they do not interfere with your ability to do your job.

Your chiropractor can apply non-invasive healing methods to relieve pain in any portion of the back. You can get tips on ways to improve your driving technique and make your cab comfortable. This can reduce pain caused by vehicle vibrations and continuous hours of sitting.

For the DOT examination, your chiropractor will check your spine and extremities for abnormalities. The physical also includes checking your hearing and vision. The chiropractor will check your protein and blood sugar levels as well as your heart rate and blood pressure.

A chiropractor is also qualified to check such things as balance, hernias, etc. As chiropractors do these kind of exams all the time they are again, often the best people to go to. Physicals generally last 24 months.

Your chiropractor will gain valuable information about your overall health from this exam. This information will be helpful later if you see the chiropractor for other health issues. If referral is necessary, a chiropractor can help with that.
