Trucking near Calgary
At JD AcuCare, located just north of Calgary’s industrial area, we see a lot of trucks around. We wanted to better understand the unique health challenges truckers face daily. What we found is that long hours on the road, limited access to nutritious food, and the physical demands of driving take a toll on the body and mind. As a result, truckers often experience chronic pain, stress, and fatigue.
