Q1: Why might early spinal arthritis be missed?
X-rays show bone changes only. Cartilage loss, ligament inflammation, and early disc degeneration are visible only on MRI.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t worked — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent pain despite physiotherapy signals the need for imaging to identify the cause accurately.

Q3: How does MRI help treatment planning?
MRI reveals which joints, discs, or ligaments are affected, allowing targeted non-surgical options such as guided therapy, supplements, or HotHeal therapy.

Q4: Risks of delaying MRI?
Worsening arthritis, chronic pain, and limited mobility may occur if diagnosis is delayed.

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