Testimonials Osteopath Manchester
Dr Akhtar offers excellent prolotherapy injections for lax ligaments. He’s very thorough and detailed with the injections and he covers each area comprehensively. He takes the time to understand the problem and explains everything fully. I’m very happy to have him treating me.
From my first consultation MyMSK have been amazing throughout, thank you for helping me.
I had my appointment with Dr Akhtar, who was receptive, understanding and knowledgeable throughout the session. The facility itself was easily found, clean and professional. The equipment within seemed fit for purpose and up to date with modern standards. There was an offer of further treatment, though no pressure was applied after I refused.
Amazing service and treatment from My MSK. Was struggling with ankle issues and getting through the NHS was impossible and so turned to Dr Akhtar.
Got an appointment really quickly and the consultation was in depth with a scan showing me the exact problem. Treatment options were given to me with associated costs along with exercises to support in the interim.
Dr Akhtar is really helpful and knowledgeable and I can’t thank him enough for his support which included a direct referral to hospital for other support.

Dr. Akhtar is a specialist when it comes to back issues. I suffered from lower back nerve pain for years, and his expertise made a significant difference in my recovery. He took the time to diagnose my condition accurately and recommended injections that provided immense relief. His approach is professional, compassionate, and highly effective. He explains everything clearly, ensuring patients feel comfortable and informed. The procedure was smooth, and the results were outstanding. I highly recommend him to anyone struggling with back-related problems.

Dr Akhrar was absolutely brilliant. Great to chat to and did a fantastic job with my knee injections, I didn’t feel a thing. The only issue is his choice of football team :). Highly recommend and I will be back in six months to get my top up.
I had a number of issues that the Normal Doctors just couldn't fix, I went to this private clinic and the Specialist Doctor just seemed to understand my body and condition within the first consultation. He's completely fixed me. I highly recommend MY MSK Clinic.

Dr akhtar very professional in his work
Very efficient booking procedure and speedy consultation. Dr Aktar gave and excellent diagnosis and advice.
I took my grandma to see Dr Akhtar for ongoing shoulder pain. We couldn't have asked for a more thorough appointment. He took so much care with examinations and explained everything properly. He talked about the risks and benefits of the procedure and ensured any questions were answered. It turned out my grandma has more going on than we thought so he even wrote to her own GP asking for further investigations. Overall would definitely recommend Dr Akhtar very lovely and professional, reasonably priced and did not rush at all.
I recently visited Dr. Akhtar for a cortisone injection to treat my Morton’s neuroma, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.
From the very beginning, Dr. Akhtar showed exceptional professionalism, honesty and genuine care, taking the time to explain the procedure in detail and addressing all my concerns.
He explained any symptoms that may occur post injection and the time for it to become effective.
Thank you doctor!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.Akhtar today, I have been having a lot of discomfort in my neck and shoulder,I finally feel I am making progress after a series of NHS appointments that were not really helping me.
I felt really at ease and was able to explain what was wrong with me in a relaxed atmosphere.
Can ‘t recommend enough
Also the building is so beautiful inside😊

I had been experiencing ever worsening hip pain for the last two to three months. As a climber, mountaineer and walker my three to seven hour walks had shrunk to one to one and a half hours before the onset of major hip pain. The physio I was attending gave me a 'heads up' on hyaluronic acid injections and the benefits that pro footballers were receiving. I saw Dr Amir at very short notice, a week before the trip. Dr Amir was extremely honest in pointing out, somewhat disappointingly, that under normal circumstances it took three weeks+ to get the real benefits. He gave me a combination of Cortisone and hyaluronic acid into my hip to help speed up the pain relief. I am back from Chile having walked in the Patagonian mountains for six to seven hours on two occasions, 95% pain free. I can unequivocally recommend Dr Amir, I am about to have further treatment on my right hand, and my wife who also has hip challenges has just made an appointment to see him.
48 hours before I was due to run the London Marathon my feet were in agony and I was seriously doubting that I would be able to complete it. After seeing Dr Akhtar he gave me perfect treatment and on the day I was pain free and able to run the marathon and even get a PB.
He was very informative about what he was going to do and what was causing the issue.
He was very friendly and I will 100% be recommending his services to anyone that needs help.

I was in desperate need of help for sholder pain. I called mymsk and was able to be seen next day. I saw Dr. Amir Akhtar who was amazing he was very professional and knowledgeable. My treatment was painless and worth every penny. I would definitely recommend for anyone in pain.
Dr Akhtar couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating, very patient, highly informed. Lovely guy too. Really recommend. Simon
Following a significant spinal and pelvic injury I have spent the last 20 years under the 'care' of many so-called experts. Some of these have been well meaning, though incompetent, and others nothing more than snake oil practicioners so by now I know who is genuine. I limped into the consultation room believing that I needed a PRP Injection in my Sacroliac Joint. After a thorough assessment and discussion with Dr Akhtar it was agreed that a Caudal Epidural was more appropriate for my condition. This was absolutely the correct diagnosis and I attribute that to his medical knowledge and experience but more so the interest and care he takes to understand assess the condition. After 1 hour and 1 treatment my pain was significantly reduced and has remained so. My initial injury was life changing and it requires life long maintenance. When you are in a position such as mine you need the help of genuine experts and these are incredibly hard to find. I am incredibly fortunate to have found Dr Akhtar and I am recommending his services to my friends and family.
Good honest Dr. He referred me for an MRI due to neck pain I have had for 5 years. He explained the results to me over the phone and sent me the information I need to look after myself via email. The entire process only took 3 days and I'm surprised I only had to book one session. Many thanks.
Presented with my 9 yr old, who sustained an ankle injury. Thorough history and examination, including immediate ultrasound scanning to promptly diagnose the condition accurately.
I would highly recommend this clinic, very professional staff, with special commendation to Dr Akhtar. An experienced clinician in the field of MSK medicine, a credit to his profession!

Felt reassured by my assessment, advice and treatment. Ultra sound guided steroid injection carried out at the first appointment and already I’m feeling benefits after months of shoulder pain. I work in the nhs and due to waiting lists for this treatment I had no option but to seek private treatment but I’m so glad so did. The doctor even identified a potential vascular issue that my gp has escaped to notice, which he kindly said he would write to my Gp regarding these concerns. Fantastic service- I would definitely recommend .
Had a recent consultant and treatment for a longstanding right knee injury from weight training and regular half marathon runs. Conservative measures had not help so made the long trek from the midlands to seek the help from Dr Akhtar. His reviews are a true testaments to the care received. Very knowledgeable and relaxed and helpful demeanour from the doctor. Had cortisone injection of the knee joint. For someone with a fear of needles, the doctor put me at ease and did not feel a thing! So far I can feel the improvements and made fully aware of possible further maintenance and exercises needed. Would not hesitate to go back to this clinic, a true hidden gem up north!
Absolutely loved our experience at MSK with Dr Amir and left feeling very satisfied. The way the treatment options were clearly explained with the pros and cons of each and proper advice on which option would be the best made everything much easier. Simply the best experience at a clinic with outstanding results after the treatment.
Brilliant service at MyMSK always, I have been going here for 2 years now for help with my shoulders ( I have calcification in my upper bicep tendon ) I always receive a thorough ultra sound to check the areas incase of any new injuries formed. the treatment I receive is a cortisone injection into each bursa which completely kills the pain in my whole shoulder area right and left as both are bad. This allows me to exercise again and sleep better. Amir is a really nice person also, makes you feel comfortable from the start and it generally feels like he really cares about his patients. I will continue to use MyMSK forever.
Dr Akhtar provided an excellent service he was very pleasant and professional, he explained everything. I had my facet joint injection,been suffering with pain and after the injection I am already feeling the benefit as the pain is easing out... I am really grateful to Dr Akhtar and I would highly recommend him.
Made a visit to My MSK and saw Dr Aktar - I was struggling with severe sciatica pain and wanted to pay for an injection to relieve the pain.
However during the consultation Dr Aktar explain that the injection might not be the best course of action, he gave me some excellent advice and explained in detail what was wrong and how that was causing the painful symptoms.
I left feeling much more informed about my situation and after following his instructions my symptoms have improved massively.
I really appreciated the good advice and felt it was far more beneficial than other places who would have just taken my money for the injection and not really considered the actual root cause.

Been struggling with a bad back for a few months and couldn’t seem to get it sorted no matter how many chiropractors or osteopaths I went to. Had a consultation with MyMSK and within a week had treatment. Kind staff and make you feel at ease when having treatment.
