Auto Accident Rehabilitation in Sarasota
After a crash, the body needs more than a single adjustment — it needs a full rehabilitation plan. Dr. Bretz has spent more than 23 years guiding Sarasota drivers back to normal life.
A car accident sets off a chain reaction in the spine, muscles, and nervous system that often takes days or weeks to show up. Auto accident rehabilitation at Bretz Chiropractic Clinic is designed to catch these injuries early, document them properly for your PIP claim and any attorney involvement, and rebuild the strength and mobility you had before the crash. Every plan is personalized to the patient — from the office worker with whiplash to the delivery driver with a herniated disc.
What auto accident rehab actually looks like
Your first visit is a same-day exam that combines a neurological screening, orthopedic tests, range-of-motion measurements, and (when clinically indicated) diagnostic imaging referrals. From there, Dr. Bretz builds a phased care plan: acute pain relief in the first week or two using gentle adjustments, cold laser, and electrical stimulation; then restorative care with spinal decompression, red light therapy, and shockwave as needed; and finally strengthening through therapeutic exercises so injuries do not become chronic.
PIP, insurance, and attorney coordination
Florida's PIP (Personal Injury Protection) law gives you 14 days from the accident to see a qualified provider and preserve your $10,000 in benefits. We accept State Farm, Progressive, GEICO, Allstate, USAA and most major carriers, and we work directly with the attorney of your choice on letters of protection when needed. Our front desk handles the paperwork so you can focus on healing.
Why patients choose Bretz for accident care
Because auto injuries are our specialty — not a sideline. We treat delayed-onset neck pain, low back pain, headaches, dizziness, tingling in the arms or legs, TMJ pain, and post-concussion symptoms every single day. Our clinic combines hands-on chiropractic with modern rehabilitation technology so recovery is faster and more complete than adjustments alone can offer.
