Chronic pain is exhausting. Not just physically, but mentally too. When pain sticks around for weeks, months, or even years, it starts to take over your life. You stop doing things you love. Sleep becomes hard. Simple tasks feel like a big effort.
If you’ve been living with pain in your back, knees, shoulders, hips, or joints, and nothing seems to be helping for long, it might be time to try something different.
At ACRT BD, we help people with chronic pain using regenerative therapy. That means treatments that work with your body to heal, not just mask the pain with medication.
This guide will tell you exactly what happens when you book a consultation with us, so you know what to expect before you even walk through the door.
What Is Chronic Pain, Exactly?
Pain is “chronic” when it lasts more than 3 months. It can come from an old injury that never fully healed, a condition like osteoarthritis, a problem with a tendon or ligament, or plain wear and tear over the years.
Common types we see at our clinic include:
- Knee pain from osteoarthritis or cartilage damage
- Back and neck pain from disc or muscle problems
- Shoulder pain from rotator cuff issues
- Heel pain (plantar fasciitis)
- Hip and joint pain
- Tendon pain that flares up with movement
If any of these sound like you, a consultation is a good first step.
Why Choose Regenerative Therapy Over Painkillers or Surgery?
Most people with chronic pain have tried painkillers. They help for a while, but they don’t fix the root problem. And surgery feels like a big, scary step, especially when you’re not sure it’s necessary.
Regenerative therapy sits in between. It targets the damaged tissue directly and encourages it to repair itself. At ACRT BD, our treatments include:
- PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma): A small amount of your own blood is processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the healing cells. These are then injected into the painful area to help it heal from within.
- Focused Shockwave Therapy: High-energy sound waves are directed at the painful area. This stimulates blood flow and kick-starts the body’s natural healing process.
- TECAR Radiofrequency: Uses radiofrequency energy to reduce inflammation and pain deep inside the tissue.
- Viscosupplementation: A gel-like fluid is injected into the joint (most often the knee) to restore lubrication and reduce friction.
These are all non-surgical options. No general anesthesia. No hospital stays. Most people are back to normal activity quite quickly.
Who Is This For?
You might be a good fit for a chronic pain consultation if:
- You’ve had pain for more than 3 months
- Painkillers aren’t working well anymore, or you’d rather not rely on them
- You’ve been told surgery “might be needed” but you want to explore other options first
- Your pain is affecting your sleep, work, or daily life
- You have osteoarthritis, a tendon problem, or a joint injury that hasn’t healed properly
You don’t need a referral letter. You can book directly.
What Happens at Your First Consultation?
A lot of people feel nervous before their first visit. That’s completely normal. Here’s what actually happens:
1. You talk about your pain history
Mr. Shamsul Hoque Nadim, our Regenerative Therapy Practitioner, will sit with you and ask about your pain. When did it start? Where does it hurt? What makes it better or worse? Have you tried other treatments?
This isn’t a quick 5-minute chat. He takes his time to understand your full situation.
2. A physical assessment
He’ll check how you move, where exactly the pain is, and what’s causing it. This helps narrow down which treatment, if any, makes the most sense for you.
3. An honest conversation about your options
After the assessment, he’ll explain what he found and what your options are. If regenerative therapy is a good fit for you, he’ll tell you which treatment and why. If something else would serve you better, he’ll say that too.
There’s no pressure to start treatment on the same day.
4. A treatment plan (if you’re ready)
If you decide to go ahead, you’ll get a clear plan. How many sessions, what to expect, and what comes next.

A Few Things People Often Ask
Do I need scan reports or test results to bring?
Bring whatever you have: X-rays, MRI reports, previous prescriptions. But if you don’t have anything, that’s okay too. The consultation starts from scratch.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people find the treatments quite tolerable. There can be mild discomfort during some procedures, but it’s not intense. Your comfort is always taken seriously.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on your condition. Some people see results in 2-3 sessions. Others need more. Mr. Nadim will give you a realistic expectation based on your specific case.
Is this covered by insurance?
This varies. It’s best to check with your insurance provider before coming in.
You Don’t Have to Keep Living With This
