Q1: Why might X-ray miss early arthritis?
X-ray only detects bone changes, but cartilage, ligaments, and soft tissue are invisible. MRI can reveal early degeneration before it causes severe pain.

Q2: I’ve tried therapy, but my knee still aches — what now?
If short-term therapy doesn’t help, MRI should be considered to confirm the cause and guide treatment. Continuing therapy without diagnosis may waste time and money.

Q3: How does MRI help treatment planning?
MRI can pinpoint the affected cartilage, ligament, or meniscus, allowing targeted non-surgical interventions like guided therapy, regenerative supplements, or HotHeal therapy.

Q4: Risks of waiting?
Delayed diagnosis can lead to worsening arthritis, chronic pain, and limited mobility.

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.
