Non-Surgical Knee Pain Treatment in Manchester and Glasgow
Ortho Remedy Clinic treats knee osteoarthritis, meniscus tears and ligament injuries without surgery, using PRP and regenerative therapies at our Manchester and Glasgow clinics. Treatment is provided by orthopaedic surgeon Dr Armughan Azhar and aims to reduce pain, restore movement and help patients avoid or delay knee replacement.
Knee Conditions We Treat
Knee Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is the gradual wearing down of cartilage in the knee joint, causing stiffness, swelling and pain that typically worsens with activity or at the end of the day. Regenerative treatment aims to reduce inflammation and support the remaining cartilage, easing pain and improving movement without surgery.
Meniscus Tears
The meniscus is the cartilage cushion that absorbs shock in the knee. Tears often happen during twisting movements in sport, or gradually through wear, causing pain, swelling and a catching or locking sensation. Depending on the type and location of the tear, regenerative treatment can reduce inflammation and support healing without the need for arthroscopic surgery.
Ligament Injuries (ACL and MCL)
Ligament sprains commonly occur during sudden changes of direction or impact. Regenerative treatments such as PRP and prolotherapy can support ligament healing and improve joint stability, particularly for partial tears.
Runner's Knee and Patellar Tendon Pain
Runner’s knee and patellar tendinopathy cause pain around or behind the kneecap, often triggered by running, squatting or climbing stairs. PRP is commonly used to treat tendon-related knee pain, addressing the underlying tissue damage rather than just masking the symptoms.
Post-Injury Knee Pain
Persistent knee pain following an old injury, whether from sport, a fall or a previous operation, can often be improved with regenerative treatment even months or years after the original injury occurred.

What Is It?
The knee is a big, complicated joint that lets you walk, run, jump, and climb. It is also vulnerable to several injuries and factors that can cause pain, such as ligament tears and arthritis. Minor knee discomfort is usually relieved by self-care procedures such as icing and resting the knee. Ortho Remedy Pain Management Center staff can assist you if your knee pain is severe or continues despite home therapy.
What Causes It?
A wide range of issues can cause knee pain. Overweight people are at a higher risk of having knee discomfort. Engaging and participating in activities that demand a lot of sprinting, leaping, or quick changes in direction may raise your chances of suffering a knee injury. We provide regenerative treatments to address a variety of prevalent reasons for knee discomfort, including:
- Arthritis
- Bursitis
- Tendinitis
- Strains and sprains
- Cartilage tear (meniscus)
- Kneecap dislocation
- Iliotibial (IT) band syndrome
- Ligaments that have been torn, including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
Knee discomfort can sometimes be caused by something as basic as walking with improper posture or failing to warm up before exercising.
The BMAC Procedure for Knee Pain Treatment
Our Ortho Remedy team will sit down and listen first. We will ask you to describe the pain: is it mild and achy, or sharp and throbbing and what else you notice alongside it. Next, we will have a detailed look at the knee, review your medical history and assess the range of motion in various directions. If we find something, depending on that we might order an X-ray or an orthopedic ultrasound.
Once we have a clear picture, we will build a treatment plan suited to your knee. This may include:
- Physiotherapy
- Functional exercise
- Weight loss program
- Chiropractic treatment
- Therapeutic massage
- Platelet-rich plasma – PRP therapy
- Mesenchymal cell therapy
- Adipose-derived Cell Therapy
What Happens During BMAC Treatment?
BMAC stands for bone marrow aspirate concentrate. For knees, it has become a preferred option when cartilage has worn down significantly over time. A small sample of your own bone marrow is drawn, usually from the back of the pelvis, then processed to concentrate the healing cells within it. That concentrate is then injected directly into the knee, at the site of the damage.
Knee cartilage receives very little blood flow. This is precisely why it struggles to heal on its own once damaged. BMAC addresses this by delivering a concentrated dose of regenerative cells directly to the affected area.
This is an outpatient procedure completed the same day, without general anesthetic. Some soreness at the injection site is common for a couple of days afterward. Although anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, naproxen and aspirin can disrupt healing these drugs must be avoided for at least 14 days after the procedure. Following such a course of physical therapy helps in the recovery. Full results are typically noticeable within six to eight weeks.
How Can It Be Treated?
BMAC is a regenerative treatment method that utilizes cells from a patient’s bone marrow to induce healing for various orthopedic disorders such as osteoarthritis and cartilage damage. There is frequently insufficient blood flow, healing capability, and regenerative cells to repair the damage in persistently painful locations. BMAC can give a plentiful supply of regenerative cells capable of replicating into many types of tissue. It offers enormous promise for individuals suffering from moderate to severe orthopedic diseases or accidents. It is most widely used to treat severe arthritis in the shoulder, knee, and hip. It has also shown effective in the treatment of:
- Tennis Elbow/Elbow Golfer's
- Torn meniscus
- Low back discomfort caused by a herniated disc
- Tendinitis of the rotator cuff
- Achilles' tendinitis
Regenerative knee pain treatment; A safe option to avoid surgery
Imagine extending your knee to the point where it stiffens and aches. What if your knee discomfort intensifies and makes you agitated? You may be concerned because of its deteriorating health, and your doctor has previously suggested surgery as a treatment option. Not to worry! Our regenerative therapies might help you fix your shoulder issues without surgery.
The BMAC Procedure For Knee Pain Treatment
BMAC is collected through an outpatient procedure in which a small quantity of the patient’s bone marrow is extracted from the back of the pelvis under local anesthetic to reduce pain. The marrow is then centrifuged to extract a concentration of stem cells, subsequently injected into the patient’s injured tissue to stimulate recovery. The procedure requires little downtime, and patients usually experience soreness at the puncture site for two or three days. Anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin should be resisted at least two weeks after the surgery since they may interfere with healing. To expedite recovery, patients should follow up with a brief physical therapy term. Within six to eight weeks of the surgery, the full effect should be experienced.
Our Knee Treatment Options
For knee pain, PRP is typically the first-line regenerative treatment, injected directly into the joint or affected tendon to reduce inflammation and support healing. Where osteoarthritis is more advanced, stem cell or Goldic treatment may be recommended alongside PRP. Guided injections are used to treat more localised issues such as bursitis around the knee, with ultrasound guidance ensuring accurate placement.
Knee Pain Treatment - Sub Services
Regenerative cell therapies and PRP may provide an alternative to knee surgery or knee replacement. Ortho Remedy regeneration therapies are non-surgical, non-invasive treatments. To cure knee arthritis and knee-related injuries, treatments give long-term relief from symptoms with minimum downtime and promote recovery in a short amount of time by utilizing your own body’s healing capacity. Our patients benefit from decreased pain and improved knee functioning without the need for surgery or knee replacement.
One of the most common and widely known reasons for knee discomfort and inflammation is arthritis. Knee arthritis manifests itself in a variety of ways. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent, followed by rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis, often known as wear-and-tear arthritis, is a degenerative disorder in which the cartilage gradually deteriorates. Cartilage acts as a natural protective barrier between the joints. Because of cartilage wear and tear, the joint bones scrape against one other and become exposed, causing discomfort and swelling.
Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system assaults the body. It damages the cartilage and softens the bone in the knees. Do you have arthritis pain and swelling in your knees? Are you considering other therapies such as steroid injections or surgery? Our non-surgical regenerative cell treatment is here to help mend the damaged knee and restore mobility.
It’s always a pleasure to see the players on the sports field. Their athletic activities will always leave the spectators in awe. The athletes are so flexible that they can leap, run, and dunk easily. However, if you make a mistake when twirling and twisting, you might harm yourself. While certain athletes, particularly those who participate in contact sports, are more prone to meniscus tears. One of the most prevalent reasons for knee discomfort is a meniscal tear. Meniscal injury may affect anyone, irrespective of age or activity level. The damage may not look serious at first, and you may be capable of walking and running with little difficulty. However, depending on the degree of the damage, the knee pain might range from mild to severe. Knee discomfort, if left untreated, might impede your daily activities. Furthermore, an untreated partial meniscus tear may result in further complications.
Have you been suffering from knee discomfort for some time? We understand that knee discomfort can be upsetting and interfere with your ability to function independently. Knee pain is a frequent complaint among individuals of all ages. Early evaluation of knee discomfort is critical to avoiding future problems, particularly in situations of a meniscus rupture. It can have profound implications if left untreated. Meniscus tears can be partial or total. The discomfort can be problematic, and you begin to hunt for ways to alleviate the unbearable ache. This is where our regenerative treatment will help you.
The most prevalent cause of knee discomfort and impairment is osteoarthritis. Smooth articulate cartilage, known as surface cartilage, covers the extremities of the femur (thigh bone) and tibia in the knee joint (shin bone). The second form of cartilage called menisci rests between the two bones and functions as a stress absorber. The knee joint is also lubricated by joint fluid.
Osteoarthritis (OA) begins with the absence or loss of surface cartilage and progresses to include the surrounding bone, tissues, and synovial fluid. With OA, your knee cartilage may decrease in patches or go entirely, exposing bare bone. X-rays, MRIs, and knee arthroscopies can assist you and us in determining the best treatment approach, which may include non-invasive alternatives such as weight reduction programs, bracing, medicines, Viscosupplementation, Cortisone Injection, and supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
For many patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, PRP and regenerative treatment can reduce pain and improve function enough to delay or avoid surgery. Severity varies, so this is confirmed at your assessment.
Many patients resume light activity within a few days. A full return to sport or high-impact exercise is discussed individually, as unlike surgery there is no lengthy surgical recovery period to work around.
Yes. We treat both degenerative knee conditions like osteoarthritis and acute sports injuries such as ligament sprains, working alongside our sports injury treatment programme where relevant.
Discomfort is typically mild, similar to a routine injection, and local anaesthetic is used where needed.
Surgery physically repairs or trims the torn tissue under anaesthesia. Regenerative treatment aims to reduce inflammation and support the body’s own healing response without an operation, and is best suited to certain tear types confirmed at assessment.
