Q1: Why can I still have back pain if X-ray is normal?
X-rays only show bones. Ligament injuries, disc herniation, or early arthritis may be invisible. Only MRI can detect these issues clearly.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t worked — what should I do?
Persistent pain after short therapy trials indicates that the root cause hasn’t been addressed. MRI will confirm the real problem.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Delays can lead to worsening nerve compression, chronic pain, or irreversible joint damage.

Q4: Why MRI over CT?
CT shows bone well but soft tissue poorly and involves radiation. MRI is radiation-free and comprehensive.

Q5: Fast, affordable MRI option?
The Pain Relief Clinic provides MRI scans under $1,000, insurance and Medisave claimable, within 1 working day, and non-surgical treatment options.
