When you're driving the 18 wheeler down the interstate, the only place you're going to pull over is at a weigh station or truckstop. The goal of the NATC is to network and map out locations where drivers can get treatment, plus reach out to families on vacation or others who spend significant time on the road.

The pilot project will refine protocols for a full scale randomized controlled study. The CCCR is funded through the NIH Office of Alternative Medicine and the National Institute of Arthritis, Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases.
