Q1: Who is this for?

Executives, drivers, and desk workers aged 35–60 who sit long hours and develop lower back pain or stiffness.

Q2: What are the symptoms?

Constant back ache, sharp pain down the legs, numbness, or tingling sensations.

Q3: What do most people try first?

Physiotherapy, chiropractic, TENS, massage, or painkillers. These can relieve symptoms but don’t confirm the cause.

Q4: When should I do an MRI?

If back pain lasts more than 2–4 weeks, or if you experience numbness, weakness, or shooting leg pain. MRI helps identify disc herniation or nerve compression.

Q5: What serious problems can be missed without MRI?

• Slipped disc pressing on nerves

• Spinal stenosis

• Spinal infection or tumor (rare but dangerous)

Q6: Why is MRI better than X-ray or CT?

MRI shows discs, nerves, and soft tissues — X-rays cannot. CT involves radiation and less detail for nerve issues.

Q7: Why do many delay MRI?

High cost, limited slots, and assumptions that physiotherapy alone will fix the pain.

Q8: What’s better about The Pain Relief Clinic?

You can get a same-day or next-day MRI, cost below $1,000, claim Medisave or insurance, and avoid long public hospital waits.
