Not about masking the signal.
It’s about identifying every contributor, the original injury, the compensatory patterns, the deconditioned muscles, the postural changes, the sleep disruption, the fear of movement.

Per session
Pain that lasts isn’t pain.It’s a pattern.
Cerebron’s pain management programme treats chronic pain at its source, combining clinical physiotherapy, shockwave therapy where indicated, and an honest assessment of what’s actually causing the symptom rather than just chasing it.
Source-focused
ESWT-equipped
Hands-on
Diagnose, then treat
The first session is diagnostic. By the end of it, you’ll know what we’re actually treating.
What it is01 02 03 04
The pain isn’t the problem. It’s the signal.
Chronic pain, pain that’s lasted more than three months, almost never has a single cause. By the time it’s chronic, you usually have the original issue plus secondary issues that developed because you’ve been moving differently to avoid the pain.
Sustainable improvement, not one-session fixes.
Less pain, better function, fewer flare-ups, and a clear understanding of what to do when pain returns. That’s the goal.
Treatment that lasts.
Real pain management is the difference between treatment that lasts and treatment you have to keep coming back for forever.
Hands-on, technology-supported, honest.
Our protocols are medication-free and built around what’s likely to work for your specific case, and what isn’t.
Most clinics treat where it hurts.
We treat where the pain is coming from.
Recovery is hard. Regret is harder.
Our approach
How we treat differently.
Most clinics treat where it hurts. We treat where the pain is coming from.
- 01
Diagnosis before treatment.
Pain in the lower back can come from a disc, a joint, a hip imbalance, or a weak core, and the treatment for each is different. Our first session is diagnostic, not therapeutic. We figure out the cause before we work on the symptom.
- 02
Hands-on, not hands-off.
Real pain management is physical. Manual therapy, joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, posture correction. Technology supports the work, but the therapist's hands are the primary tool.
- 03
ESWT where conservative therapy isn't enough.
For chronic tendinopathy, stubborn plantar fasciitis, or pain that's plateaued, shockwave therapy adds something hands-on alone can't. Used as part of a protocol, never as a quick fix.
- 04
You leave knowing how to manage it.
Most chronic pain conditions can flare up. We don't just treat, we teach. You'll leave with specific exercises, posture rules, and red flags that mean call us. Pain management is also pain education.
A note on standards
If your case is more likely to need a surgical or medical route, we’ll tell you, and help you find the right specialist. The plan should serve the patient, never the other way around.

Pain conditions we treat.
Most chronic pain falls into one of these categories. Each has different drivers and different paths to improvement.
Chronic Back Pain
Lower back, mid-back, or recurrent back pain lasting over 3 months.
Neck Pain & Cervical Issues
Postural neck pain, cervical stiffness, and tension headaches.
Sciatica & Nerve Pain
Radiating leg pain, disc-related symptoms, and nerve irritation.
Arthritis & Joint Pain
Osteoarthritis pain, knees, hips, hands, shoulders, without overload.
CRPS
Complex regional pain syndrome, specialised, careful, patient-led therapy.
Tendinopathy
Tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, achilles, and other tendon pain.
Technology used
Technology that supports pain treatment.
Used clinically, to accelerate specific outcomes, not as a substitute for proper physiotherapy.
Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT)
The most clinically useful technology for chronic pain, particularly tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, calcific tendinitis, and stubborn musculoskeletal pain that has plateaued. Evidence-supported and effective when the right cases are selected.
Virtual Balance System Pro
Used for chronic pain patients with movement avoidance, pain has often changed how they move, and balance retraining helps restore confident movement patterns.
BlazePod Reactive Training
For late-stage rehab, returning to sport, work, or activity after a long pain episode. Trains the reactive movement that confident, pain-free function requires.

FAQ
The questions chronic pain patients ask.
If yours isn’t here, send a message, Dr. Shikha’s team replies personally, usually within one working day.
No, and that's a key indicator of whether you're getting good pain management. Our goal is to get you to a stage where you can manage flare-ups yourself, with occasional check-ins. Most patients with chronic pain finish formal therapy within 8–16 weeks and continue with self-care.
Honest answer: it might not be, and we'll tell you if so at the first visit. But often, previous therapy was symptom-focused (treating where it hurts) rather than source-focused (treating what's causing it). The difference is diagnostic depth in the first session.
It's uncomfortable, not painful. Most patients describe it as a strong tapping sensation. Treatment lasts 5–10 minutes per area. Mild soreness for 24–48 hours after is normal. It's well tolerated by almost all patients.
Often, yes, for many back, knee, and shoulder conditions. We'll give you a realistic read on whether your specific condition has a high chance of conservative success or whether surgery is more likely the right path. We won't push therapy on cases that genuinely need surgical intervention.
We don't prescribe medication, we work alongside whatever your physician has prescribed. Many patients reduce their pain medication needs as physiotherapy progresses, but that's a conversation between you and your doctor. We'll coordinate with them when helpful.
