Shockwave therapy for Brighton patients
ProRehab provides extracorporeal shockwave therapy for patients from Brighton and the wider Brighton, Shoreham and West Sussex area. It is most commonly used for persistent tendon pain that has not settled with rest, time or basic exercise alone.
Your clinician will assess your symptoms first, explain whether shockwave is appropriate, and combine treatment with advice and exercise rehabilitation where needed.

What to expect
Assessment first, treatment if suitable
Most patients receive a short course of 3 to 6 sessions, usually spaced around one week apart. Shockwave can feel uncomfortable during treatment and mild soreness afterwards is possible.
- Initial assessment to confirm whether shockwave is appropriate.
- Radial shockwave therapy applied to the affected tendon or soft tissue area.
- Exercise rehabilitation and load advice to support longer-term recovery.
