Dedicated to finding real solutions for persistent pain
Dr. Chad Borys is a Naturopathic Physician in Bellingham, WA focused on musculoskeletal pain and regenerative medicine. He works with people dealing with chronic orthopedic pain — shoulder, knee, hip, back, and tendon problems that limit training, work, or daily life — where the goal is an honest diagnosis first, and a treatment plan that follows from what the exam actually shows.
His training includes more than 300 hours of advanced instruction in prolotherapy, PRP, and ultrasound-guided procedures, mentorship in non-surgical orthopedic medicine, and volunteer patient care in Honduras. Outside the clinic, he is a former collegiate soccer player and lifelong mountain biker, climber, and skier — which shapes how he thinks about recovery and what returning to activity actually requires.
Too many people are told their pain is permanent, age-related, or only fixable with surgery — before anyone has looked closely enough to find out.
The problem
Chronic orthopedic pain is commonly managed rather than diagnosed. Patients cycle through cortisone, rest, and physical therapy without anyone identifying the specific structure generating the pain — and without knowing whether the tissue is still a reasonable candidate for recovery.
The approach
Dr. Borys starts with an exam and, when appropriate, diagnostic ultrasound to find the pain generator. Treatment follows the diagnosis — not the other way around. When regenerative options make sense, the evidence behind them is explained plainly, including what they can and cannot do.
What to expect
By the end of your first visit you should have a clear explanation of what is driving your pain, which treatment options fit your situation, and a realistic picture of what to expect — whether that is a regenerative injection, a loading program, or a referral to someone else.
Know whether your treatment is actually working
Healing should never be a guessing game. Dr. Borys uses DataBiologics to track your pain, mobility, and function before and after each regenerative procedure — so you can see measurable data on your progress at every step.
- Honest expectations. Outcome data from real patients helps set a realistic picture of what your treatment can achieve — before you commit.
- Care that adapts to you. If your numbers aren't moving the way they should, your plan changes — no one-size-fits-all protocols.
- Clear conversations. You and Dr. Borys make decisions together, grounded in your own results rather than guesswork.
Treatment options matched to what is driving your pain
Every patient receives a thorough evaluation before any treatment is recommended. Dr. Borys uses diagnostic ultrasound and careful clinical assessment to determine which approach, if any, will be most effective for your specific condition.
Ready to understand what's driving your pain?
The initial visit is a standard evaluation that may be billed through insurance depending on your individual plan and coverage.
Many patients come in looking for a clearer answer
Not simply another round of treatment. The approach is the same every time: find the pain generator, match the treatment, measure the progress.
Thorough Evaluation
Your first visit is a careful assessment. Dr. Borys reviews your history, examines the area of concern, and often uses diagnostic ultrasound to evaluate the tissue directly. The goal is to understand the problem before recommending treatment.
Clear Recommendation
You will receive a straightforward explanation of what is going on and which treatment options, if any, make sense for your situation. For some patients, regenerative treatment is the right choice. For others, a different approach is better. If a treatment is unlikely to help, that will be addressed directly.
Treatment & Follow-up
If treatment is indicated, Dr. Borys performs the procedure and provides follow-up to monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed. Your recovery and results matter - ongoing support is part of the process.
