What are Hyaluronic Acid Injections?
Hyaluronic Acid Injection, often marketed under brand names like Ostenil/Durolane/Synvisc, is a treatment designed to relieve joint pain caused by Osteoarthritis, injury, or overuse.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the synovial fluid of joints, acting as a lubricant and shock absorber.
As we age or develop joint conditions, the natural levels of hyaluronic acid decrease, leading to stiffness, inflammation, and discomfort.
Osteoarthritis results in a loss of healthy Synovial fluid within the joint.
Hyaluronic Acid is now artificially engineered.
By injecting a purified form of Hyaluronic Acid directly into the joint, this treatment helps restore lubrication, reduce pain, and improve joint movement.
It is therefore an ideal treatment when the joint is affected by conditions such as Osteoarthritis.

Hyaluronic Acid Knee Injection Procedure
At MyMSK Clinic, all knee injections are carried out with precision and care by experienced MSK professionals.
The procedure is performed under sterile conditions using advanced ultrasound guidance to ensure optimal accuracy and effectiveness.
Following the injection, patients receive a tailored knee rehabilitation exercise sheet designed to strengthen the muscles around the joint and support long-term recovery.
Note: This procedure should only be carried out by a qualified medical professional with expertise in musculoskeletal injections, ensuring both safety and the best possible clinical outcomes.
Step-by-Step Process:
- Patient Positioning: You will be comfortably positioned on the treatment couch, with a support pad placed under the knee to allow optimal access and joint alignment.
- Ultrasound Guidance: An ultrasound scanner with is used to accurately locate the injection site within the knee joint.
- Site Marking: Once identified, the injection site is marked to ensure precise needle placement.
- Skin Preparation: The area is thoroughly cleansed using a sterile antiseptic solution to minimise the risk of infection.
- Local Anaesthesia: A local anaesthetic (1% lidocaine) is administered to numb the area, ensuring the procedure is as comfortable and pain-free as possible.
- Injection: The Hyaluronic Acid is then injected directly into the joint space under continuous ultrasound guidance for maximum accuracy and therapeutic effect. Any effusion present is drained before the injection
- Post-Procedure Care: A sterile dressing or plaster is applied to the injection site.

- Pain Relief: Helps reduce joint pain caused by osteoarthritis or wear and tear.

Key Questions to Help You Decide

Many patients report a reduction in pain and stiffness within a few days to weeks, with benefits lasting up to 6 months depending on the severity of the condition.
Hyaluronic acid focuses on lubricating and cushioning the joint, while steroid injections reduce inflammation. Your doctor can help determine which option is best for your needs.
Side effects are rare and usually mild, including temporary swelling or soreness at the injection site. The procedure is considered low-risk when performed by a qualified specialist.
Results vary, but most patients experience symptom relief for 4 to 6 months after a single injection. Repeat treatments can be considered if symptoms return.
Durolane Knee Injection Reviews





The clinic was very clean and fresh, and Dr. Akhtar couldn't have been more patient and understanding of what I wanted to discuss. He listened to every single thing I had to say and took the time to hear about my history with scoliosis, then undertook a thorough assessment for 40 minutes, checking my mobility and doing an ultrasound on all the areas I was concerned about. Unlike other doctors I've seen, he didn't focus only on the area he was interested in, but instead looked at everything that bothered me, and that made all the difference.
For years I've complained about a burning sensation in my neck, believing I had a trapped/pinched nerve, and for years no doctor would hear me. They'd simply suggest other simple reasons for my pain, like poor posture, and my scoliosis was never even considered. Dr. Akhtar DID consider my scoliosis, and the ultrasound left me feeling vindicated - I have a trapped nerve. I am so grateful to him for hearing me and making sure I was properly assessed, and for assuring me that I'm right in what I had thought all along. I should mention at this point that the assessment itself required no removal of any clothing, instead he very respectfully taped my shirt sleeve back so he could reach my shoulder and neck, and I really appreciated that.
Dr. Akhtar - Thank you for seeing me and for your help. I am now hopeful that I'll be able to resolve some, if not at all, of the pain I've been having with the instructions you've given me. For those wondering if you should visit the clinic, consider this your sign to book immediately! You won't regret it.

I’ve suffered with my shoulder for years and I have seen multiple Doctors and specialists, and I’ve alway left feeling that it’s a pain I have to live with. I finally have a cause and I’m hopeful it’s something that can be repaired.

This was confirmed in the hospital blood test result of the D-Dimer of 5000 which Louise recieved several hours later from the hospital urgent care centre as Dr Akhtar had written an urgent letter for Louise to take straight after her first consultation.
Dr Akhtar is quite clearly not only a very competent professional given his intial diagnosis at the first appointment of Louise of a potential blood clot (dvt)of the left leg of Louise he is also a very considerate & conscientious doctor who quite clearly puts the best interests of his patients above anything else. Thankyou Dr Akhtar you are a credit to yourself and your family and when the blood clot treatment has finished we will be back for further advice and treatment for the original problem.
In the meantime we would highly recommend your service. Thanks again from Louise & Paul

I am so pleased I came across my MSK Burnley. Lovely clinic nice ambiance.
Dr Akhtar is a true professional and a credit to his profession.
He is very approachable and went through my MRI scan results with me highlighting where the issues are.
He fully explained the procedure, gave me time to ask questions he even showed me on a dummy what he was going to do.
The procedure was very though and apart and from a mild discomfort from the local injection I did not feel the steroid injection.
Unfortunately for me this has not worked but he did say that it might not. He has sent a copy of my report to my GP and myself.
Following our conversation this morning he has sent me further details of other treatment options which I will discuss with the surgeon next week.
If you are thinking of going private for this type of treatment please look on there website, check out the reviews, you will not be disappointed with the care and treatment you receive.
I would have no hesitation in using this clinic again and will certainly be in touch for me or my family if treatments needed in the future.
Thank you Dr Akthar and team for your kindness professionalism and expertise.

I want to say a big thank you to Mr Akhtar for examining my shoulder where I have experienced pain almost 5 years and onwards. Mr Akhtar did all his checks very thoroughly and got to the bottom of my problem. I have had chiropractors and sport massage treatments for this particular shoulder and nothing had worked. First session I got results where I could reach my back and after treatment I was extremely surprised at how my shoulder felt at ease. I got an appointment the next day on calling and on arrival I was greeted very professionally. Thank you Mr Akhtar I hope to see you again in the future.
VERY RECOMMENDED FOR SHOULDER EXAMINATION.

After browsing on the internet I came across My MSK clinic and decided to book an appointment with Dr Akhtar. I am so glad I did!
Dr Akhtar was very welcoming and the consultation was very thorough. Dr Akhtar explained all the treatment options available (more than were offered at the private hospital) and I opted for cortisone and hyaluronic acid injections which I decided to have there and then. That was 3 months ago. For the first month or so my hip felt a bit achy and niggly but then everything settled down and the end result is brilliant! The stiffness has completely gone (my hip used to crack and pop all the time) and apart from a very occasional mild twinge I am pain-free. I can now exercise and even just walk without being constantly aware of my hip. Most days I don't even give my hip a thought!
I would definitely recommend Dr Akhtar. I will certainly return if I need a top-up injection in the future or anything else starts to hurt! I should also add that the cost of my treatment was probably about a quarter to a fifth of what I would have paid at the private hospital.
Thank you Dr Akhtar

To anyone considering booking an appointment, my advice is not to hesitate, just go ahead, you won't regret it.
