Even without the audio, this scene is so visceral and so painful to watch.

You can see the fear in every part of it: the fear as the arm-shackles lock, and his breathing gets quicker and fearful. He’s practically hyperventilating in terror. He knows the pain is coming, and he doesn’t want it to, but this is procedure and protocol and must be followed.
