If knee pain is affecting your daily life, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections offer a non-surgical option to help relieve pain and improve movement.

Benefits of PRP injections:

• Minimally invasive with little downtime
• Uses your body’s natural healing response

PRP is commonly used for knee pain linked to osteoarthritis and other joint conditions.

What is Sciatica? Symptoms, Causes & Treatment

Suffering from sharp pain in your lower back that travels down your leg? You may be experiencing sciatica, a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.

Common symptoms include:

Shooting pain from the lower back to the foot
Burning or “electric shock” sensations
Tingling or numbness in the leg or foot
Pain worsened by sitting, bending, or coughing

The good news: Most cases improve within weeks with the right treatment.

At MyMSK Clinic, we offer:

Expert diagnosis and assessment
Tailored rehabilitation and physiotherapy advice
Ultrasound-guided spinal injections for pain relief

When to seek urgent help:
If you notice leg weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, or numbness in the saddle area, seek immediate medical attention.

Don’t let sciatica control your life.
