Cold Laser Therapy in Sarasota

Drug-free light therapy that may help some people with pain and tissue recovery.

Laser Therapy in Sarasota

Cold laser, or low-level laser therapy, applies specific wavelengths of light to tissue. Proposed mechanisms include effects on cellular energy production, but the clinical evidence is mixed and outcomes vary by condition, device, dose, and individual. It is used at Bretz Chiropractic Clinic as one part of a broader plan when the examination supports it, not as a stand-alone remedy.

What a session is like

The treatment head is placed on or near the skin over the target area for several minutes. Many people feel little or nothing; some notice mild warmth. As with any therapy, tell the clinician about discomfort, and ask about precautions that apply to you.

Where it is used

Laser therapy is used in practice for soft-tissue injuries, joint pain, tendon complaints, and some post-injury pain. Evidence varies by condition, and it is not appropriate for everyone. Response is reviewed as care progresses rather than assumed.

Laser Therapy — FAQ

It is generally well tolerated, and precautions apply — including pregnancy, treatment over certain cancers, and use near the eyes. Dr. Bretz screens for these at intake.
