Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave Therapy at Physiosports Brighton
At Physiosports Brighton, we offer Shockwave Therapy—a non-invasive treatment that is designed to help speed up the healing of chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves, to stimulate tissue repair, improve blood flow, and reduce pain—especially helpful when other treatments haven’t worked.
What Conditions Can Shockwave Therapy Help With?
Shockwave Therapy is ideal for long-standing tendon and soft tissue injuries, including:
Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
Hamstring tendon issues
Achilles tendinopathy
Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
Shin splints (medial tibial stress)
Who Provides Shockwave Therapy at Physiosports Brighton?
We take a team approach to ensure you receive the right care:
- Our podiatrists use shockwave for foot and ankle conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles problems.
- Our physiotherapists apply it to a broader range of injuries including knees, elbows, and hamstrings.
Your practitioner will work with you to create a treatment plan that suits your specific needs.
What to Expect from Treatment
Shockwave Therapy is delivered in-clinic and typically involves:
- Administering a handheld device that delivers acoustic waves to the injured area and this stimulates the healing.
- Sessions lasting approximately 15 minutes. This may vary depending on your circumstances and injury needs.
- A course of 3–5 treatments, usually spaced one week apart.
Shockwave Therapy is not suitable for everyone. Your podiatrist or physio will assess your condition first to see if it’s right for you.
