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.

I cannot thank Dr Amir Akhtar enough for his continued kindness and guidance. I have had trouble with my shoulder for nearly a decade, stemming from a sports injury in my mid 20s. I have completed years of physio and I've been through the NHS process twice, with no answers. I found Mymsk online and decided to make an appointment. Dr Akhtar took me seriously and used ultrasound thoroughly to find calcification which looked to be causing my pain. We tried a few different treatments, with the cortisone injection helping with the pain on a temporary basis. He continued to urge me to go back to the NHS to try and get the calcification removed through key hole surgery, and wrote me a letter to support my case. I am now on the waitlist for key hole surgery to get the calcification removed. This wouldn't have been possible without Dr Akhtar helping me get the answers I needed, and giving me the courage to persevere. I would thoroughly recommend mymsk clinic.

Fantastic result from My MSK! I had a Cortisone injection in my shoulder and the results really were very good! Just for the record the price was less than 25% of what The Beardwood Hospital wanted to charge me 😱

Good examination of my shoulder & everything explained in terms of treatment and price
Care taken every step of the procedure and all went very well - resulting in 90-95% pain free after few days and since continued.
I would not hesitate to recommend him & and any of his services at his Burnley Clinic as he is one of the best .

I went to visit Dr Akhtar after dealing with pain for an awfully long time and not seeming to get the answers I was looking for.
From the minute I walked into my MSK Clinic and Introduced to Dr Akhtar, I knew I was in the right place.
As for my issues, they were explained to me in great detail and I finally had the right understanding as to what the underlying problems were.
I then underwent some injections to relieve my neck, headaches and shoulder blade pain, and within a week, I had so much weight lifted off and the pressure had gone.
I want to thank Dr Akhtar for his professionalism and would highly recommend anybody to visit the clinic.

Dr. Amia provided excellent care during my shoulder treatment. He performed a steroid injection and removed calcium deposits with care and precision. He explained each step clearly, which made the whole experience much less stressful. The procedure itself was quick, and afterwards I felt relief right away. By the next day, the pain had significantly eased. I really appreciate his skill and professionalism and would HIGHLY recommend.

Went about 10 months ago with a shoulder injury, Dr Akhtar did an ultrasound and diagnosed a rotator cuff tear and referred me for surgery which I have had. Had to go again because of pain post surgery and was diagnosed with a frozen shoulder and given exercises to do. I would always recommend investing in a 1 hour appointment for pain that isn't going away at this clinic before undergoing physio without a scan, Dr is very knowledgeable and will put you at ease.

Explained everything in simple terms for me to understand fully what my diagnosis was, what treatment was available and what the next steps should look like.
I would highly recommend visiting if you have any doubt about your body.
Will definitely be going back if needed, no questions asked.

The clinic looks very nice and clean. Dr. Amir is very knowledgeable and professional he explained to me properly what could happen before and after I got the injection. I had nerve block and facet joint infection and he made sure I was comfortable and let me know everything that what’s going on. He gave me good advice about my neck pain and I feel a lot better I wish I went to see him sooner. The price of treatment is reasonable and worth the long drive as I came from miles away. I highly recommend MyMSK clinic to those who suffer from chronic pain.

I visited MSK Burnley on the 30th December with acute sciatica. I was desperate for relief after not being able to work or sleep in 3 weeks. After a thorough consultation we decided to give the caudal epidural a try. Everything was explained to me, I was reassured and informed what was going to happen next. The procedure took 20 mins or so and whilst at times a little uncomfortable nothing compared to the awful sciatic pain I’d been suffering with. I leave this review a week after the epidural and I am 95% pain free. A little stiff in the morning. Hopefully I won’t need to but I would definitely return if my symptoms return. Great clinic, informative doctor.

I booked an appointment here after my mum had recommended it to me. I've been having issues with pain in my shoulder, and she'd had issues with hers too and insisted that I see Dr. Akhtar because he helped her with hers.
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.

Thank you to this clinic I appreciate everything you did for dr Amir

I recently saw Dr Akhtar about painful arthritis in my left knee. He administered a hyurolonic acid injection and drained a synovial cyst on the back of the same knee , guided by ultrasound- it was completely painless! He explained things I could do to hopefully stave off a knee replacement, which is a great relief.
I can’t praise him enough for his care, understanding and expertise . He explained everything in detail and answered my many questions . I will definitely return when I require another injection. The clinic is very modern, clean and relaxing.
The receptionist was a lovely young lady who was very welcoming. All in all , a great experience! Thank you.

I visited the clinic because I'm a keen runner and I'd been experiencing pain around the Metatarsal in both feet. I had a significant long distance running event coming up, which I'd committed to, and I needed to manage the pain. I immediately felt very comfortable with Dr Akhtar. His manner was patient, kind and professional, and he put me at ease. He was very thorough indeed, providing lots of information and explanations. He administered Cortisone, as requested, and the result was that I was able to complete the event I'd committed to. I rarely take time to write reviews, but felt it was worthy in this case. I would not hesitate to recommend.
Thank you!

Absolutely amazing practice from start to finish. My wife was having severe bouts of sciatica. Going through her GP it was taking weeks and no way could she wait that long. Anyway after going on Google for caudal epidural specialists I found MSK in burnley and oh how happy my wife is. Next day appointment. Great medical assessment and treatment administered to my
wife and her words were it's life changing. Anyone who has joint or nerve pain and can't or don't want to go through the NHS waiting list please don't hesitate to contact MSK clinic. You will not be disappointed I can promise you that. Thank you Dr Akhtar and your team for the great treatment received and the follow up call recieved 48 hours later. Fab service

I recently saw Doctir Akhtar at his clinic for persistent shoulder pain. After a thorough scan he diagnosed calcific tendonitis of my right shoulder. Doctor Akhtar took the time to explain the condition to me and the best course of treatment to relieve my pain. I had a cortisone at injection at the clinic and after a week my pain is greatly reduced. I would not hesitate to recommend My MSK and am pleased that I went for my consultation and treatment.

As a Dr he has a duty of care to his patients and he follows through with that on every appointment. He always put myself first rather than himself and is happy to refer you to certain specialists if the problem needs surgery/ alternative procedures that he doesn’t offer. Would definitely visit again.

Quite franky this service potentially has saved my wife Louise life ! Having gone to see the doctor for the swelling and pain behind the left knee of my wife Louise which we thought may be a bakers cyst. Upon examination it turned out to far more troubesome.
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

Due to the long wait on the NHS and after suffering many weeks of pain I decided to pay private for assessment and steroid injection to my cervical spine.
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.

Hi.
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 three years of suffering hip pain that I had assumed was an exercise injury I was diagnosed with early arthritis of the hip a few months ago. The private hospital where I had the MRI scan and X-ray carried out quoted me £1500 just for the surgery time to administer a cortisone injection. This did not include the consultant's fee or the cost of the injection!
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 recently attended the Clinic and found both Dr. Akhtar and the young man on reception to be kind, considerate and easy to talk to. Dr. Akhtar was helpful and knowledgeable and at no point did I feel “rushed”. In fact it was nice to actually be listened to. The Clinic itself is spotlessly clean with a very calming atmosphere as soon as you walk in. The complimentary coffee was much appreciated after my journey! At no point did I feel anxious I have to say and I would not hesitate to recommend MSK . I will definitely return should the need arise.

I was really impressed with the treatment and how Dr Akhtar communicated the process to me and through the visual cues on the scanner explained exactly what was happening while he was treating my hip.

Booked a consultation with Dr Akhtar following 18 months of crippling back pain and not getting answers via GP etc. Dr Akhtar was very clear and informative, he explained everything fully and in a way that I could really understand what the issue was. I didn't feel rushed at all during the appointment. Following treatment I had a reduction of pain in the first 48hrs and then have been pain free since then. Pricing was very clear and booking is very convenient via the website. The clinic was spotlessly clean and well furnished to make you feel comfortable. I have already recommended My MSK to a couple of friends I know have shoulder and back issues and I wouldn't hesitate to see Dr Akhtar again myself if the need arose.

I attended the clinic for guided steroid injections in both hips. Dr Akhtar was extremely welcoming and professional and went to great lengths to explain at each stage how he was assessing my condition and approaching the procedure. The procedure was undertaken very smoothly, efficiently and comprehensively. I felt some initial benefit almost at once and over the coming days, it was a definite improvement. He also took time to diagnose some specific artefacts that he found during the ultrasound scan and these were passed on to my Doctor. I will have no hesitation in returning for further treatment as necessary and would recommend him most highly.

Spoke with Dr Amir yesterday about my back problems and sciatica.
Booked in today
Great customer service from Rafi on Reception good luck with your A level results next week 👍Thank you for the coffee.. Dr Amir looked at my MRI scan which I went private for. NHS 12 week wait. basically have a trapped never and a slipped disc. I had been to the physio at my GP surgery with my scan Monday this week no mention of the nerve or the disc. I had two injections in my back
Dr Amir talked through everything he was doing. Absolute pleasure to meet him. My back after 4 hours feels so much better.They also send a report to your GP. The waiting list for the two injections with NHS is 18 month's. Highly recommended MSK.
Thank you much appreciated 👌

It was lovely to meet Dr Akhtar yesterday at his clinic. I had an extremely thorough 45 min consultation with him. He was so attentive and really listened to every detail about my history and symptoms. I would also like to add that he has a very friendly and professional manner.
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.
