Q1: What causes chronic neck stiffness?
Stiffness may result from cervical disc degeneration, ligament or muscle injury, or early arthritis. Therapy alone may not reveal the structural cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies structural damage, enabling targeted treatment and preventing continued ineffective therapy.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated injuries may worsen, leading to chronic pain, reduced mobility, and functional impairment.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides high-resolution, radiation-free imaging of discs, ligaments, and muscles. X-ray shows bones only; CT is less effective for soft tissue.

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

Q1: Why do my hands feel numb or tingly?
Symptoms may result from cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression, which cannot be confirmed without MRI.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies the structural cause, allowing targeted treatment and avoiding ineffective therapy.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated nerve compression may worsen, leading to chronic pain, weakness, or permanent neurological deficits.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of discs, spinal cord, and nerves. X-ray shows bones only; CT is limited for soft tissue.

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

Q1: Why does my neck pain radiate to my arms?
This can result from cervical disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression. Short therapy trials cannot confirm the structural cause.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. Persistent radiating pain despite therapy indicates structural injury, which MRI can detect for precise, targeted treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated nerve compression may worsen, leading to chronic pain, weakness, or permanent neurological deficits.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI clearly shows discs, spinal cord, and nerves without radiation. X-ray shows bones only; CT is less effective for soft tissues.

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

Q1: Why get MRI before back surgery?
MRI precisely identifies injured discs, nerves, ligaments, and soft tissue, ensuring surgery is necessary and correctly targeted.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I do MRI?
Yes. MRI confirms the structural cause, preventing unnecessary surgery or ineffective interventions.

Q3: Risks of skipping MRI?
Incorrect diagnosis may lead to ineffective surgery, prolonged recovery, and persistent pain.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides high-resolution, radiation-free imaging of soft tissues, discs, and nerves. X-ray shows bones only; CT poorly visualizes soft tissue.

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

Q1: Why does back pain radiate to my legs?
Symptoms may be caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or nerve compression, which cannot be confirmed without MRI.

Q2: Therapy hasn’t helped — should I get MRI?
Yes. MRI identifies structural nerve or disc injury, guiding targeted, effective treatment.

Q3: Risks of delaying MRI?
Untreated nerve compression may worsen, leading to chronic pain, weakness, or permanent neurological deficits.

Q4: Why MRI over X-ray or CT?
MRI provides detailed, radiation-free imaging of discs, nerves, and soft tissues. X-ray shows bones only; CT is limited for soft tissue.

Q5: Fast MRI solution?
