Why DOT Physicals?

Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals are essential to ensure both your health and safety, as well as the safety of the public. They are also required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. If you are a commercial driver, or your position has been otherwise designated “safety sensitive,” you will need to receive a special physical designed specifically for these jobs. Because of the strict expectations of these exams, it’s essential to go to a medical professional who is certified and trained to perform DOT physicals. At Christensen Chiropractic, we are happy to perform thorough yet efficient DOT physicals in Ottawa.
