Professional, relaxing consultation and treatment …. Dr. Amir dare I say it boarders on the old school patient doctor relationship… equal respect and more than willing to listen. Did not feel rushed EVERYTHING was explained… Highly recommended!!!

I went back to see Dr Akhmir although my hip injection worked a treat reducing groin and front hip pain, I was still having a lot of pain from my lumbar region that wasn’t improving ( in fact getting worse ) I have had disc problems for years. I am still on the NHS waiting list and couldn’t cope with the pains and discomfort anymore. I had the injection on my spine, which I’ve always had before at the NHS hospital before. I was unsure about having this injection without being in a hospital setting. However Dr Akhmir again put me at ease, was very professional, very informative and very caring about my worry’s. I am slowly recovering but the instant difference from when I walked into his office to now is unbelievable ! If I’d have known someone with this experience and understanding, could perform the spine injection, I’d have gone sooner. I can’t thank him enough for looking after me and I’m sure further down the line I’ll most likely need to go to him again. Do not hesitate to go and see this Dr even if you need clarity of your condition, That alone has been worth the visits. Thank you so much once again Dr Akhmir

I had an appointment with Dr Amir Akhtar in Manchester and the appointment went extremely well, in the past I have been to many places including the NHS about my knee issues and I never got an answer to what was the injury problem was. Dr Amir Akhtar performed a scan on my knee to determine what was the issue, by the end of our appointment I was told of my injury which was patella tendinitis, Dr Amir Akhtar gave me a cortisol injection in my knee and I can honestly say that this has help massively, I also received a thorough guide for the aftercare and I’m also receiving aftercare messages to see how I’m getting on. The service from Dr Amir Akhtar was absolutely excellent and I would definitely go back if I had any other issues in the future. 💯 recommend to anyone who wants a good honest injury expert.

I've had a great experience working alongside MyMSK Clinic in Manchester city centre. As a physiotherapist, I regularly refer patients to Dr Akhtar and have always been impressed by his thorough and professional approach. He takes the time to properly assess each patient and consider the most appropriate treatment options. What I particularly value is that he doesn't simply recommend or perform injections without good clinical reason — every decision is carefully considered with the patient's best interests in mind. It's reassuring to have a knowledgeable and trusted clinician to refer my patients to, and I would highly recommend Dr Akhtar and the team at MyMSK Clinic. Khuram - Full Motion Physio
We’ve been really pleased with our experience referring patients to My MSK Clinic. They provide a professional and efficient service, with access to specialist musculoskeletal assessment and ultrasound-guided injection therapy when appropriate. Having a trusted local clinic we can confidently refer patients to is incredibly valuable, particularly when they may benefit from additional specialist input alongside their ongoing treatment and rehabilitation. Highly recommended by the team at Corrective Pain Relief.

Dr. Amir Akhtar was excellent from start to finish. I booked my consultation on Tuesday and was seen by Thursday, which was a huge relief as I was in so much pain. During my appointment, he carried out an ultrasound that identified two calcific deposits and explained everything clearly. I then had a steroid injection and barbotage treatment. Over the next few days, the pain in my shoulder eased significantly, and the movement in my arm improved dramatically. I am now almost back to full range of motion. Dr. Akhtar was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring throughout, and I felt I was in very capable hands. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking prompt and effective treatment.

I was in constant pain and living on pain killers before I took decision to take the injection. Dr Akhtar is amazing he explains everything very well and answers your questions. It’s been 3 weeks since I had the injection I can say that I feel so much better, I can stand and walk now. I have gone back to work last week and started to enjoy my life. Thank you again

I went to see Dr Akhtar for a steroid injection in my knee following inflammation. Dr Akhtar was so professional and caring and helped to discover the root cause for my severely inflamed knee. The injection has helped me greatly and I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Akhtar for any treatments in his clinic. Fantastic service.
Highly recommended, Dr. Akhtar was very professional and thorough. He investigated the issue using ultrasound before taking any actions and also helped me understand potential implications. I actually feel better after treatment (shoulder injection). The place is also situated right in the city centre, so 5 stars!

My elderly mum had an appointment 22nd April with Dr Amir Akhtar who gave my mum a guided ultra sound steroid injection in her shoulder. The consultation was empathetic, thorough, informative and has given mum excellent relief after been warned by Dr Amir Akhtar that the sucess rate was very slim and may not last very long due to the severity of her advanced osteoarthritis. However mum is delighted with even a short (2 weeks and counting) reprieve. We would not hesitate to recommend or indeed return to this clinic.

Very good experience with My MSK Clinic in Burnley. I saw Dr Amir Akhtar for a painful recurrence of sesamoiditis / forefoot pain. He assessed the area carefully, used ultrasound to check what was going on, and only proceeded with injection once he was satisfied it was appropriate. I valued that he was clear, direct, and clinically grounded rather than just rushing through the appointment. He also explained the wider mechanical picture well, including how compensation from other ankle problems may be contributing. The treatment was carried out there and then, and the whole process felt efficient and professional. A helpful and thorough service. I would recommend them.

Very helpful doctor who explained the procedure and gave me a realistic view of how successful the procedure would be given my age and severity of my condition. This was prior to the procedure, so I could decline treatment if I wished. He was in no hurry during the procedure and pointed things out to me on the scan. Overall, I would certainly recommend this clinic and clinician. It was excellent care. I am pleased to say that I am noticing some improvement in my knee following the injection and am now saving to have my other knee treated. I will definitely be returning to this clinic.

We attended the Burnley clinic last month after several years of trying to find help and support from different professionals. From the moment we arrived, my mum felt truly listened to and heard by Dr Amir Akhtar, which made such a difference to her overall experience. She received ultrasound guided hydrodissection of the Baxter’s nerve, and since the treatment she has reported a really positive improvement. Her pain has reduced significantly, and she feels much better in herself, more comfortable driving and able to go out for walks again, which she hasn’t been able to do for quite some time. The improvement has been remarkable and we’re very grateful. She has also noticed that she is now able to move her toe more easily, and the pain in her heel at night has reduced, helping her rest more comfortably. Thank you for the care, support, and treatment it has made a real difference.

Can't say it was a pleasant experience but Dr Akhtar was lovely and reassuring and followed up with me after about 12 days. I definitely feel the injection has worked and I'm hoping it allows me to get some quality of life back.

Dr Akhtar was recommended to me recently for my injury / joint pain. I booked my appointment online and got so much more than I expected on the day of my appointment. The level of detail that things were explained to me in was fantastic but also done in such a way that it wasn’t overwhelming. I’m at the start of a journey to recovery but have so much confidence I am in great hands and off to the best possible start!! The evening following my appointment I received some emails of; advice, follow up care, recommendations of the best splint to purchase, images taken from my scans and even a copy of my letter that is going to the GP! What a fantastic service, one would have to wait weeks if not months for this kind of feedback on the NHS and the cost of everything was very reasonable too. Thank you very much for everything , I really appreciate your time and approach towards my issue.

I visited Dr Akhtar as I have been struggling with neck & arm pain for a while now and have been waiting on an NHS appointment to see a musculoskeletal specialist. With the nhs waiting list so long I got my GP to write me a referral letter out so that I could have it looked at privately and as soon as possible. I found MSK clinic online and gave a call one evening to be booked in at 8am the following morning. Dr Akhtar was amazing, he thoroughly examined me and explained everything to me in fine detail ensuring I was understanding the diagnosis. He has also advised and recommended aftercare through an osteopath and advised me if I need any help or have any questions to get back in touch. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I recently visited My MSK for an assessment and cortisone injections in my spine after a car crash left me with severe sciatic pain, and I honestly cannot praise this clinic enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt reassured. The clinic itself is beautiful, calm, and welcoming — exactly what you need when you’re anxious and in pain. Dr Akhtar was everything you could hope for in a specialist: friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and, most importantly, truly listened. He took the time to understand my pain and concerns, and for the first time since the accident, I genuinely felt hopeful. I’m only 48 hours post-injection, but already the difference in my outlook is huge. A special thank you goes to Safi, who has been nothing short of exceptional. Safi has handled my endless emails with patience, kindness, and professionalism, and their support has made this whole process so much easier. They genuinely deserve recognition for outstanding customer care. I was originally going to wait seven days before leaving a review, but honestly, this clinic has already proven itself. I would return here time and time again without hesitation, and I would recommend My MSK to absolutely anyone in need of expert, compassionate care. Thank you to Dr Akhtar, Safi, and the entire team for giving me hope again. An effortless 5 stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

THE PROCEDURE

PRP Injections Procedure

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

The entire procedure is completed within approximately an hour, making it a fast and convenient treatment.

Afterward, there’s minimal downtime – most patients can resume normal activities after 48 hrs (resume sport depending on Dr’s advice).

It’s a relatively quick solution to help you get back on your feet without the need for surgery.

01

Step 1: Blood Draw

Blood is drawn, just like a routine blood test.

02

Step 2: 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.

03

Step 3: 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.

The PRP is injected into the knee under ultrasound guidance for accuracy.

BENEFITS

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 evidence

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.

COMPARE

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 injection compared with knee surgery

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 slowing down degeneration within the joint with platelets and growth factor, potentially delaying or even preventing the need for surgery.

PRP injection compared with a cortisone injection

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 injection compared with a hyaluronic acid injection

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

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 customised 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 knee or joint osteoarthritis, PRP is given as a single injection (one power shot).

For tendon problems, a course of 3 injections is needed.

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.
