Recurring, not episodic
DOT physicals, drug and alcohol screening, random-testing consortiums, and file maintenance renew on a cycle. You build a book of business, not a waiting room.
For Minnesota Chiropractors
Add a new revenue line your competitors don’t understand.
Occupational health and DOT compliance add a recurring, contract-based revenue line to your practice — steady income from local employers on top of the patients you already treat. Ternus Consulting shows you exactly how to build that program inside your existing practice, step by step, from someone who has done it for more than two decades.
- 25+Years in practice & compliance
- 1999Licensed DC since
- B2BRecurring contract revenue
Built on real-world experience serving Boilermakers Local 647, independent commercial drivers, excavators, and self-employed operators across Minnesota.
The Opportunity
Patient visits end. Employer contracts renew.
Cash and insurance patients are unpredictable. Employers with drivers and safety-sensitive staff have a legal, ongoing need for compliance services — and they pay for it on a schedule. Occupational health puts your practice on the other side of that transaction.
Low competition, high need
Few chiropractors know this market exists. Every commercial fleet, union shop, and self-employed CDL holder needs a compliant provider — and struggles to find one nearby.
Uses what you already have
Your license, your office, your staff. Occupational health layers onto the practice you already run — no second location, no new degree.
The Curriculum
Everything you need to launch, priced, and compliant.
Worked through one-on-one with Dr. Ternus, so you finish with a working occupational-health service line and the paperwork to run it right.

Your Instructor
Dr. Jesse Ternus, DC
Doctor of Chiropractic · Occupational Health & DOT Compliance Owner-Operator
Dr. Jesse Ternus has practiced chiropractic in Minnesota since 1999, and he didn’t just study occupational health — he built a business around it. For more than sixteen years he has operated as a preferred collection facility serving Boilermakers Local 647, independent drivers, excavators, and commercial and non-commercial operators across the region.
He holds a Bachelor’s in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Minnesota–Duluth and his Doctor of Chiropractic from Northwestern College of Chiropractic. His compliance credentials include Certified Drug Screening Professional (CDSP) and Certified Alcohol Screening Professional (CASP) since 2005, along with BAT and STT collection certifications and First Responder training.
Ternus Consulting exists because Dr. Ternus knows most chiropractors are sitting on an untapped revenue line and don’t know where to start. This program is the roadmap he wishes he’d had — the certifications, the setup, the pricing, and the employer relationships, taught by someone who runs it every day.
- Licensed Doctor of Chiropractic since 1999
- CDSP & CASP certified since 2005
- BAT, STT & CME collection credentials
- 16+ years operating a DOT compliance facility

Questions
What chiropractors ask first.
Do I need a second location or new license?
No. Occupational health layers onto your existing chiropractic practice using your current license, office, and staff. The program focuses on adding the service line, not starting over.
What certifications will I need?
The program walks you through each one — drug screening (CDSP), alcohol screening (CASP/BAT), and specimen collection (STT) — in the right order, with guidance on where and how to obtain them.
Is this specific to Minnesota?
The program launches with Minnesota chiropractors in mind and reflects Dr. Ternus’s local experience. The compliance framework is federal (DOT/FMCSA), so the core model applies broadly, with state-specific notes where relevant.
How long does it take to launch?
That depends on how quickly you complete certifications, but the curriculum is built so you can begin setting up your collection site and pursuing your first accounts as you progress — not months after finishing.
Who is this not for?
If you’re not willing to pursue the required certifications or serve local employers, this isn’t the right fit. It rewards practices ready to build a real, compliant service line.
