Patient Stories
Real Stories. Real People. Real Journeys Towards Better Movement.
When you have lived with pain for months or years, it can be difficult to know where to turn next. At Ortho Remedy Clinic, every patient begins with their own story — whether that means persistent knee pain, arthritis, a sports injury, hip discomfort, fibromyalgia or chronic pain that has started to affect everyday life.
These patient stories and reviews share real experiences from people who chose to explore their treatment options with our clinical team. From walking more comfortably and returning to everyday activities to feeling supported throughout their treatment journey, their experiences reflect the individual care we aim to provide at our Manchester and Glasgow clinics.

Your treatment journey is personal, and outcomes vary from one patient to another. All treatment recommendations are based on an individual clinical assessment, medical history and suitability.
Every Patient Has a Different Story
No two patients experience pain in exactly the same way. Some come to us after years of managing symptoms. Some have been told that surgery may be their next option. Others want to return to sport, work, walking, exercise or simply the everyday activities they enjoy.
At Ortho Remedy Clinic, we take time to understand the person behind the condition. Our consultations focus on your symptoms, medical history, existing scans or imaging and treatment goals before a personalised treatment plan is discussed.

Patient Reviews
Lesley Murray
I have struggled with knee pain for several years, and although I have my name on the waiting list for knee replacements, I was extremely reticent given the very invasive procedure, and even longer recovery time. I decided to try stem-cell therapy after reading an article about the benefits and less invasive treatment that this could offer. After a very informative and professional consultation with Dr. Azhar and his colleagues, I decided to have the treatment, it’s been four weeks since my final treatment, although I had been told it could take months to feel the benefit, I am pleasantly surprised to find that my knees are at least 50 percent improved, finally, I can get to sleep without aching knees. Also walking is much improved and my limp has disappeared. I fully recommend Dr. Azhar and his team, not only for the scrupulously clean treatment room but also for the subsequent kind and understanding way in which every step was explained with much care and obvious knowledge, aftercare and follow-ups were also exemplary. I am happy to speak personally to whoever is considering
Sara Sarah
I’m really satisfied about Ortho Remedy UK. I have a several diseases at my hip, facing with acute pain for years and nowadays no hope rather than a surgery. Doctor Azhar gave me a chance of alternative solution and after his treatments and support I can see finally positive results and especially a drastic reduction of my pain. I can walk easily and feel a great relief to avoid a surgery. I found here great competence, support and understanding but first of all, immediately positive results. So greatful and happy now. I highly recommends it. I can say I’m experiencing a new life after long suffering and frustration, free totally from painkillers, gel or any medication.

Patient Reviews Glasgow Clinic
Within two days my back had tightened up and wasn't cracking constantly.
Every day in the shower I would need to bend and twist to crack my back and now it won't do it so it's definitely working for me.
I'm shocked at what treatments are available but the NHS won't fund them and for me it's worth paying for this privately to improve my lifestyle
along with a friend who had severe knee pain. The pain relief was instant but I kept thinking it would be temporary. A year down the line and I’m back at gym, as well as doing Pilates classes. I also got the Goldek treatment when suffering slight aches and pains elsewhere, which is part of the ageing process when you get to late 40s🙈.Again this procedure has been unbelievable and taken away any pains and niggles I had. I hope other people can get the same results as myself and my friend. It’s definitely changed my mental as well as my physical well-being after years of needless suffering.
