REDDING, Calif., June 11, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Churn Creek Chiropractic is helping local truck drivers keep their credentials current with annual Department of Transportation (DOT) exams, which are required annually in the state of California for anyone holding a commercial driver’s license.
For commercial truck drivers in California, the one thing that is consistent during their career on the open road is the need for an annual DOT exam. Thankfully, Churn Creek Chiropractic offers this service to patients—and includes its own special twist of overall wellness care.
What is a DOT exam? A requirement for anyone in the state who holds a commercial driver’s license (CDL), this annual checkup includes basic health screening procedures such as a vision test, hearing exam, and blood pressure screening. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires this exam to reduce injuries involving large trucks and buses.
Finding the time to complete a DOT exam can be difficult. Churn Creek Chiropractic understands this and offers fast and efficient same day DOT exams for those who call.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for our drivers,” explains Dr. Donovan Hutchings, D.C. “That’s why we work hard to get you in and out as quickly as possible, and provide all the necessary paperwork you will need to turn in.”
“All the driver has to do is call for an appointment. Our experienced staff will give the driver all the information they need to complete the Department of Transportation Exam,” continues Dr. Hutchings.
That is where Churn Creek Chiropractic takes the process a step further by offering additional services and advice to help improve overall health, such as regular chiropractic care, massage therapy, and postural screenings.
“For many drivers—especially those who haul loads clear across the country—sitting in a truck for days on end is normal,” says Dr. Hutchings. “By working with them when they are home on methods that can help reduce back pain, minimize stress, and overall boost their health, we are really giving them the benefit of better help. It’s a win-win situation.”
