Shockwave Therapy Brighton

At Core Chiropractic, we’re pleased to offer Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) as part of our advanced treatment options for persistent musculoskeletal injuries. This non-invasive therapy uses controlled, low-energy acoustic shockwaves that are delivered directly to the affected area. These sound waves help stimulate blood circulation, encourage the body’s natural healing response, and support the repair of damaged soft tissues.

What conditions can Shockwave Therapy help?

Shockwave Therapy is an effective treatment for a wide range of persistent tendon, ligament and soft tissue conditions. It is commonly recommended for:

At Core Chiropractic, we always begin with a thorough assessment before recommending the most appropriate treatment plan. In many cases, hands-on chiropractic care and manual therapy are the first step. If symptoms continue or recovery is slower than expected, Shockwave Therapy can be introduced alongside manual treatment to help improve outcomes.

How does Shockwave Therapy work?

Many long-standing tendon and ligament injuries develop because these tissues naturally have a limited blood supply, making them slower to heal. Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) works by stimulating circulation and activating the body’s natural repair mechanisms within the affected tissue.

By encouraging tissue regeneration and reducing pain, Shockwave Therapy can help speed up recovery, improve function and support a safe return to everyday activities, work or sport.

During treatment, you may experience mild discomfort as the shockwaves are delivered to the injured area. Some people notice temporary tenderness or slight bruising for a few days afterwards, but these effects are generally short-lived and are a normal part of the healing process.

What to expect during your treatment

Your Shockwave Therapy appointment will be carried out by an experienced healthcare professional and is usually combined with appropriate hands-on chiropractic treatment or manual therapy where clinically indicated.

By combining Shockwave Therapy with personalised chiropractic care, rehabilitation advice and targeted manual treatment, we aim to address both your symptoms and the underlying cause of your injury, helping you achieve the best possible long-term results.
