Do you suffer from Knee Pain? Have you considered PRP Injections at our Manchester Clinic
A Proven Treatment to help relieve Knee Pain associated with Osteoarthritis
PRP injections provide an effective, non-surgical solution for those struggling with knee discomfort.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves using your own blood to create a concentrated solution of platelets, which are then injected into the affected knee.
These platelets contain growth factors that help stimulate healing, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration in the Knee joint.
The benefits of PRP injections for Knee Pain are clear:
- Pain Relief – Many patients experience significant pain reduction after PRP treatment, allowing them to return to daily activities with less discomfort.
- Improved Mobility – By promoting healing, PRP therapy can restore joint function, making it easier to move and stay active.
- No Surgery, Minimal Downtime – PRP injections are a minimally invasive procedure, meaning there’s no need for surgery, and recovery time is typically quick. You can usually get back to your routine shortly after treatment.
At My MSK Clinic in Manchester, Dr Akhtar is here to help you explore whether PRP injections are the right solution for your knee pain.
Schedule a consultation today to learn more about this safe, effective treatment and how it can help you find lasting relief.

PRP Injections Procedure
The PRP injection procedure is simple, quick, and minimally invasive.

Afterward, there’s minimal downtime – most patients can resume normal activities after 3-4 days.
It’s a relatively quick solution to help you get back on your feet without the need for surgery.
Here’s how it works:
Blood Draw – blood is drawn, just like a routine blood test.
Plasma Preparation – The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) from the rest of the blood components. This concentrated plasma contains growth factors that promote tissue healing.
Injection into the Knee – The prepared PRP is injected into the affected area of your knee, where it starts working to repair damaged tissue and reduce pain.
Benefits of PRP Injections for Knee Pain
If you’re struggling with knee pain, PRP injections can offer significant relief. Here are the key benefits:
- Long-Lasting Pain Relief – PRP injections can provide up to 12-24 months of improvement, helping you stay active and pain-free for longer.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure – Unlike surgery, PRP injections require no incisions and have little to no downtime, allowing you to recover quickly and return to your daily activities.
- Natural Healing Process – PRP therapy uses your own platelets to stimulate tissue repair and regeneration, making it a safe and effective treatment with minimal risk of adverse reactions.
Clinical studies have shown that PRP injections (Bansal et al 2021) can significantly reduce pain and improve knee function in patients with osteoarthritis and other knee conditions for 1-2 years following the injections).
Many of our patients at My MSK Clinic have experienced long-term relief and regained their mobility after treatment.

Here Are Some Key Questions to Help You Decide
Yes, PRP injections are commonly used to treat knee osteoarthritis, sports injuries, and chronic knee pain. They work by promoting healing in damaged tissue and reducing inflammation.
Most patients experience a reduction in pain and improvement in mobility. Results can last up to 12-24 months, with many people enjoying long-term relief and a return to normal activities.
PRP injections are very safe as they use your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Some mild side effects include temporary discomfort, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these typically resolve within a few days or weeks.
Comparing PRP with Other Treatments
PRP injections offer several advantages over traditional treatments for knee pain, including Surgery, Cortisone shots, and Hyaluronic acid injections:
PRP vs. Surgery
Unlike knee surgery, which requires a long recovery period and carries higher risks, PRP injections are minimally invasive, with little to no downtime.
They focus on regenerating or slow down degeneration within the joint with platelets and growth factor, potentially delaying or even preventing the need for surgery.
PRP vs. Cortisone Shots
Cortisone injections may provide temporary relief from pain, but they don’t address the underlying issue.
PRP injections, on the other hand, target the degeneration and stimulate natural healing and tissue repair, offering potentially longer-lasting benefits.
PRP vs. Hyaluronic Acid Injections
While hyaluronic acid injections may provide some pain relief, Research has found PRP to be superior.
PRP injections use your own platelets to regenerate damaged tissue and reduce pain, offering a more effective long-term solution.
PRP therapy offers a natural, more sustainable approach to knee pain treatment.
If you’re looking for a solution that goes beyond temporary relief, PRP injections could be the right choice for you.
Key Considerations When Choosing PRP Injections for Knee Pain
When deciding whether PRP injections are the right treatment for your knee pain, it’s important to keep several factors in mind:
PRP therapy is most effective when tailored to your specific condition. A thorough evaluation by one of our doctors at our clinic will help determine if PRP is the right choice for you and how the treatment can be customized to meet your needs.
Understanding your specific knee pain diagnosis is crucial. Whether it’s osteoarthritis, an injury, or chronic pain, the success of PRP injections depends on the cause of the issue.
Our doctors will work with you to make sure the treatment aligns with your condition.
For most patients, a 3 dosing regimen of PRP injections may provide noticeable relief. Recent Research has indicated 3 treatments of PRP delivered better and more sustained results than a single dose regime for Knee Osteoarthritis
Be sure to discuss this with your doctor at My MSK Clinic.
After your PRP injection, following proper post-care instructions is essential for optimal recovery.
This includes limiting activity around the injection site for a few days and avoiding certain medications.
Your doctor will provide detailed instructions and follow-up care to support your healing process.
By considering these key factors, you can make a more informed decision about whether PRP injections are the right solution for your knee pain.
If you’re unsure, book a consultation with one of our doctors at My MSK Clinic in Manchester, and we’ll guide you through the process.
What Our Patients Say





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.
