DOT Physicals and Light Chiropractic
DOT Physicals and Light Chiropractic is a chiropractic office at 2500 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, Florida, run by Dr. Fritz Philippe. The practice describes itself as a group of high-end chiropractors in Hollywood with a dream to not allow pain the ability to take away your happiness, and it builds each treatment around the individual patient rather than a single standard routine. Care covers car accident injuries, back and posture issues, joint pain, sports injuries, work injuries, and muscle therapy, and the office says its patients have reported significant improvements after working with the practice. The second half of the business is D.O.T. physical exams: the office is certified to offer professional and accredited D.O.T. exams for commercial vehicle operators, and drivers are seen in as little as 10 minutes rather than waiting in line for hours. The exam is $90, includes a health history review and a thorough physical, and the office provides a laminated card for the driver. Dr. Philippe holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Administration from UCF and a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine from Palmer College, and he holds an active license in good standing with the state of Florida. He is an active member of the community and a regular speaker at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Toastmasters on nutrition, wellness, and optimal lifestyle behaviors.
