Does your knee hurt every time you get up from a chair? Or maybe climbing stairs has become a nightmare? You’re not alone. Millions of people in Bangladesh deal with knee osteoarthritis every single day. The good news is, you don’t need surgery to feel better.
At ACRT BD, we help people get real relief from knee pain using modern regenerative treatments, no cutting, no long recovery, no hospital stays.
What Is Osteoarthritis of the Knee?
Osteoarthritis (OA) is when the cushion (cartilage) inside your knee wears down over time. When that happens, your bones start to rub together. That causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and sometimes that grinding sound when you bend your knee.
It’s very common, especially in people over 40, people who are overweight, or those who have been on their feet for years doing physical work. Women tend to get it more than men.
The pain can start small. But over time, many people find it hard to walk, sleep, or do simple daily tasks without discomfort.
Why Avoid Surgery If You Can?
Knee surgery (especially knee replacement) sounds like a permanent fix. And sometimes it is needed. But surgery comes with real risks: infection, long recovery time, anesthesia risks, and sometimes the results aren’t as good as expected.
Most doctors will tell you to try non-surgical treatments first, for at least six months, before thinking about going under the knife. And honestly, for many patients, non-surgical treatments work really well.
Non-Surgical Treatments That Actually Work
Here are the treatments we offer at ACRT BD that help knee osteoarthritis patients get their life back:
1. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy
This is one of the most talked-about treatments for knee OA right now, and for good reason.
PRP therapy uses your own blood. We draw a small amount, spin it in a special machine to separate the healing platelets, then inject that concentrated solution directly into your knee.
Those platelets carry growth factors, tiny proteins that tell your body to start repairing tissue, reduce inflammation, and slow down cartilage breakdown.
Studies have shown that PRP can significantly reduce pain and improve knee function, especially in the early to moderate stages of osteoarthritis. Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks, and results can last for months.
Who is it good for? People with mild to moderate knee OA who want a natural, body-based treatment.
2. Viscosupplementation (Hyaluronic Acid Injections)
Think of this as re-lubricating your knee from the inside.
Healthy knees have a thick, slippery fluid called synovial fluid that keeps the joint moving smoothly. In OA, this fluid gets thin and watery. Viscosupplementation puts hyaluronic acid directly into the joint, which is the same substance that makes synovial fluid thick and slippery.
The result? Your knee moves more smoothly, the friction goes down, and the pain eases up.
This treatment works well on its own, and even better when combined with PRP.
3. Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Shockwave therapy sounds intense, but it’s actually quite comfortable for most patients.
Extracorporeal Focused Shockwave Therapy sends gentle acoustic waves into the knee tissue. These waves create tiny signals that wake up the body’s own healing process. New blood vessels form, inflammation calms down, and the tissue starts to repair itself.
It’s completely non-invasive. No needles, no downtime. Most patients come in for a few sessions and start noticing improvement within weeks.
4. TECAR Radiofrequency Therapy
TECAR Radiofrequency uses high-frequency energy to heat up tissue deep inside the knee from the outside. This deep heating increases blood flow, loosens stiff tissue, and helps reduce pain quickly.
It works in two modes:
- Capacitive mode targets soft tissue and muscles around the knee
- Resistive mode goes deeper, reaching bones, joints, and tendons
It’s especially helpful for patients who also have stiffness, not just pain.
Treatments That Help at Home Too
In between clinic visits, there are things you can do at home to help your knee:
- Exercise regularly. Light exercises like walking, swimming, or cycling are great for knee OA. They keep the joint moving and strengthen the muscles around it, which takes pressure off the cartilage. Your doctor will guide you on what’s safe for your level.
- Lose extra weight. Every extra kilogram puts more pressure on your knees. Even losing a few kilograms can make a real difference in pain levels.
- Use heat or cold packs. Cold packs help with swelling and sharp pain. Heat helps with stiffness, especially in the morning.
- Avoid movements that strain the knee. Deep squats, kneeling for long periods, or going up and down stairs too many times can make things worse.
What About Pain Medications?
Painkillers like NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) can help in the short term, but they don’t fix the underlying problem. Long-term use also comes with side effects like stomach issues.
Regenerative treatments like PRP and shockwave therapy go after the root cause, not just the pain signal. That’s why they tend to give longer-lasting results.
