Welcome to Chiropractic Specialists of Carver Chiropractic

 At Chiropractic Specialists, we proudly offer Department of Transportation (DOT) physical exams for commercial drivers in the Twin Cities metro area. Whether you're a new CDL applicant, renewing your medical certificate, or an employer needing compliant exams for your team, we deliver fast, professional service that keeps you on the road.

A DOT physical exam is a federally mandated health check required by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to ensure commercial drivers are physically and mentally fit to operate a commercial motor vehicle safely. Only certified medical examiners like our licensed chiropractor can perform and approve DOT exams.

Your DOT physical includes:

• Vision and hearing tests
• Blood pressure and pulse check
• Urinalysis (for underlying conditions such as diabetes)
• General physical exam (checking heart, lungs, neurological function, spine, and more)
• Medical history review
  

If you meet FMCSA standards, you’ll receive your Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC) on the spot — valid for up to 24 months.

To make your visit smooth and efficient, bring:

• A valid driver’s license
• Your current or previous DOT card (if renewing)
• A list of current medications
• Glasses or hearing aids if needed
• Any specialist clearance if you have a chronic condition (e.g., diabetes, sleep apnea)
