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!!!

Dr. Amir is patient, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. He took the time to listen to all my concerns, explained my treatment options clearly, and made me feel completely at ease. He walked me through every step of the process without rushing.

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 can't rate this experience highly enough. I presented with a prolapsed disc. There was a thorough assessment and examination. I had a "laminal epidural corticosteroid injection" and after 15 days of excruciating pain, the treatment was immediately effective. Five star experience "

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

All I can say is what an excellent experience. I got more information about my condition than I have from the NHS in the last 4 years. Consultation with no pressure to continue with the treatment. I had a Caudal epidural injection yesterday and have just completed Shopping trip around the local supermarket virtually pain free. Thank you soo much Dr Akhtar

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 am happy to share my experience. I was in pain for about 3 months running from buttock, side of my leg and all the way down to my toes. I could not stand or walk for more than two minutes. 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

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.

Jill McCarthy

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.

Visited the Burnley clinic a couple of weeks ago with sciatica and had a consultation with Dr Akhtar with regards to a caudal epidural injection. Dr Akhtar explained the procedure and off we went. 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.

I had an appointment with Dr. Amir Akhtar to receive an injection for crippling pain in my shoulder. When he saw the results of the Ultrasound scan he realised that my shoulder was so damaged that he didn’t believe the injection would help me, so he would send the scan results to my GP. He did what he could to help me. He was fantastic.

My usual experience of private health is a very expensive consultation, followed by even more expensive scans and after that the actual treatment.

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.

Thanks very much, great service.

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.

48 hours before I was due to run the London Marathon my feet were in agony and I was seriously doubting that I would be able to complete it. After seeing Dr Akhtar he gave me perfect treatment and on the day I was pain free and able to run the marathon and even get a PB. He was very informative about what he was going to do and what was causing the issue. He was very friendly and I will 100% be recommending his services to anyone that needs help.

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.

Felt reassured by my assessment, advice and treatment. Ultra sound guided steroid injection carried out at the first appointment and already I’m feeling benefits after months of shoulder pain. I work in the nhs and due to waiting lists for this treatment I had no option but to seek private treatment but I’m so glad so did. The doctor even identified a potential vascular issue that my gp has escaped to notice, which he kindly said he would write to my Gp regarding these concerns. Fantastic service- I would definitely recommend .

Conservative measures had not help so made the long trek from the midlands to seek the help from Dr Akhtar. His reviews are a true testaments to the care received. Very knowledgeable and relaxed and helpful demeanour from the doctor. Had cortisone injection of the knee joint. For someone with a fear of needles, the doctor put me at ease and did not feel a thing! So far I can feel the improvements and made fully aware of possible further maintenance and exercises needed. Would not hesitate to go back to this clinic, a true hidden gem up north!

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.

Step 1: Blood Draw

Blood is drawn, just like a routine blood test.

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.

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

Here Are Some Key Questions to Help You Decide

Are PRP Injections Suitable for Osteoarthritis or Sports Injuries?

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.

What Are the Expected Outcomes?

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.

Are There Any Risks or Side Effects?

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 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 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

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:

Personalised Treatment

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.

Diagnosis

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.

Number of Injections

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.

Post-Treatment Care

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.
