A DOT (Department of Transportation) physical is a federally mandated medical exam required for anyone operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV). It ensures drivers are physically and mentally fit to perform their job safely. DOT physicals must be conducted by a medical provider certified by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration).
At Enhanced Chiropractic, Dr. Lucas Paredes is certified to perform DOT exams and complete all necessary paperwork in compliance with FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) regulations. We make the process simple, efficient, and stress-free — so you can get back on the road with confidence.
Ensuring your blood pressure meets DOT safety standards.
Checking for vision clarity, peripheral awareness, and color distinction.
Making sure you can detect sounds necessary for safe driving.
Monitoring blood sugar stability to prevent sudden health issues on the road.
Detecting potential cardiovascular risks that could impair driving.
Screening for dizziness, fainting, or other nervous system concerns.
Identifying sleep-related issues that may cause drowsiness while driving.
Whether it’s your first DOT exam or your tenth, we make the process straightforward and stress‑free. Here’s how it works at Enhanced Chiropractic:
