Prolotherapy Injections: Regenerative Relief for Chronic Joint & Ligament Pain
Are you dealing with persistent joint or ligament pain that hasn’t improved with rest, physiotherapy, or medication?
At MyMSK Clinic in Manchester, we offer Prolotherapy injections—a non-surgical, regenerative treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. This therapy is particularly effective for conditions like ligament laxity, chronic tendon injuries, and joint instability.
Our experienced clinicians use precise injection techniques to target the affected areas, promoting tissue repair and strengthening over time.
What is Prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy, short for “proliferative therapy,” involves injecting a specially formulated solution—commonly dextrose—into damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints. This injection stimulates the body’s healing response, encouraging the growth of new, healthy tissue and strengthening the affected area.
Unlike treatments that merely mask pain, Prolotherapy addresses the underlying cause by promoting tissue regeneration, making it a valuable option for long-term relief.
Is Prolotherapy Right for You?
Prolotherapy is suitable for individuals experiencing:
- Chronic joint or ligament pain
- Joint instability or weakness
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Conditions like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, or Achilles tendonitis
If you’ve tried other treatments without success, Prolotherapy may offer the regenerative support your body needs to heal.
What to Expect During Your Prolotherapy Treatment
- Consultation & Assessment: Our clinician will evaluate your condition, discuss your medical history, and determine if Prolotherapy is appropriate for you.
- Preparation: The targeted area is cleaned and sterlised, and a local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.
- Injection: Using precise techniques, the Prolotherapy solution is injected into the affected ligaments or tendons.
- Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive guidance on post-procedure care to support healing and maximize benefits.
The procedure typically takes less than an hour, and most patients can resume normal activities shortly afterward.
Benefits of Prolotherapy Injection
Prolotherapy offers a range of regenerative benefits for patients dealing with chronic joint, ligament, or tendon pain.
Prolotherapy works with your body’s natural healing response — helping you achieve more lasting, functional improvement.
Here are some of the key benefits:
- Stimulates Natural Tissue Repair
Prolotherapy encourages the body to regenerate and strengthen damaged ligaments, tendons, and joint structures — promoting long-term healing. - Reduces Chronic Pain
By targeting the root cause of instability and inflammation, prolotherapy can lead to a significant reduction in pain over time. - Improves Joint Stability and Function
Ideal for areas with ligament laxity or tendon weakness, prolotherapy helps restore stability, which in turn supports better movement and mobility. - Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive
No need for incisions, downtime, or general anaesthetic. Prolotherapy is performed in-clinic and typically takes under an hour. - Suitable for a Range of Conditions
From knee osteoarthritis and tennis elbow to SI joint dysfunction and plantar fasciitis — prolotherapy can be applied to many musculoskeletal issues. - Complements Other Treatments
Prolotherapy can be safely combined with physiotherapy, exercise rehab, or other non-surgical treatments to support full recovery.

Prolotherapy – Recovery, Results & Common Concerns
If you’re considering prolotherapy, it’s natural to have questions about what happens after the injection, how many sessions you’ll need, and what kind of results you can expect.
Below, we’ve answered the most common concerns patients have about prolotherapy recovery and outcomes.
Most patients experience mild soreness or stiffness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days. You can usually return to light activity shortly after the procedure, though we recommend avoiding high-impact movements for a short time to allow healing.
Prolotherapy doesn’t offer instant relief like cortisone injections — instead, it works gradually by stimulating tissue repair over time. Most patients notice steady improvement in strength and stability over several weeks, particularly after completing a full treatment plan.
The number of prolotherapy sessions needed depends on the severity and location of your condition. On average, 3 to sessions spaced 1-4 weeks apart are recommended for optimal results. Your clinician will tailor the plan to suit your individual healing response.
Prolotherapy is generally considered very safe when performed by trained professionals. Side effects are usually limited to mild post-injection discomfort. Rarely, there may be swelling, bruising, or risk of infection, but these are uncommon when aftercare instructions are followed.
While post-treatment soreness is expected, you should reach out to your clinician if you experience severe pain, prolonged swelling, redness, or signs of infection. Our team is always available to guide you through recovery and answer any concerns you may have.

Our Prolotherapy 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

I had spinal injections after my consultation. I was rather nervous about having the injections but was pleasantly surprised how comfortable the whole process was. It's early days post injection, however already I can feel a huge improvement in my symptoms.
To anyone considering booking an appointment, my advice is not to hesitate, just go ahead, you won't regret it.
