Shockwave Therapy at Physiosports Brighton

At Physiosports Brighton, we offer Shockwave Therapy—a non-invasive, evidence-based treatment that helps speed up healing for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Using targeted acoustic waves, this therapy stimulates tissue repair, improves blood flow, and reduces 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)
  • Achilles tendinopathy
  • Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
  • Patellar tendinopathy (jumper’s knee)
  • Hamstring tendon issues
  • Shin splints (medial tibial stress)

This treatment can be used for both lower and upper body injuries.

 

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:

  • A handheld device that delivers acoustic waves to the injured area
  • Sessions lasting 15 minutes
  • A course of 3–5 treatments, usually spaced one week apart

Shockwave Therapy is not suitable for everyone. It’s not recommended if you are pregnant, have a bleeding disorder, or have a tumour in the treatment area. Your podiatrist or physio will assess your condition first to determine if it’s right for you.
